      High Oxygen Atmosphere Sealed                 Trays​

​

  1. This unique sealed High Oxygen packaging will keep the mussels alive and fresh until the best before date which is printed on the top film of the tray.
  2. Trays must be refrigerated until ready to be used.
  3. Some mussels will appear open inside the sealed trays. This is completely normal as the mussels are respirating much as they would under water because of the high oxygen level.
  4. A small amount of liquid or drip-loss from the mussels will form in the bottom of the tray this is completely normal. 
  5.  Once ready to cook, the film should be cut and mussels rinsed in a colander under cold tap water and moderately agitated for 1 minute. This will cause mussels to slowly close.
  6.  Mussels are now ready for your favorite recipe.
