I've bought two bags of almond flour and with both bags I've had issues of them properly zipping back up. Am I missing something?

The same happened to me. I folded over the top and secured it with a potato chp bag clip. Keep it in the refrigerator.

Mine did the same thing. I just squeezed the air out and used a clip to close it. It's frustrating though, you spend so much money on a product, you expect it to have proper packaging.

Make sure "zipper" is completely clean. If need be wipe with damp toweling. If all else fails compress all air from bag and use a large clip.

I've had the exact same problem. I just used a clip to keep it closed. Also thinking of transferring it into a freezer bag since I store it in the freezer.

Mine wouldn't re-seal either, so i just squeezed all the air out and rolled the top down & used a clip to hold it closed. Has worked for me.

Unfortunately, the problem is caused by the nature of the product. Almond Flour has a higher protein and fat content than wheat flour. As a result, it tends to gunk up the zipper. I've found the best way to clean the zipper is to shake the flour loose by flicking the zipper with my fingers, but it's an imperfect science. We're always on the lookout for packaging innovations, but the nature of the Almond Flour itself tends to be the culprit.

You are not doing anything wrong. I can never get the bags to zip properly either. I just squeeze as much air out as possible, zip the bag as best I can, then fold the top over and wrap a large gum band (top to bottom) to keep it from spilling.

Last night I struggled with this exact same issue when I opened a new bag. I never got it to zip back up. So if anyone has a tip please tell us.

Nope, it's not you. I had the same issue with the "zipper". But I re-bagged the flour into smaller sized baggies, and just used the big bag to hold them all together in the freezer. Sorry, wish I had a better answer to help.

That's a little strange, the bag of almond flour is really almond flour. When I clicked on the picture another bag of flour popped up and that was definitely not almond flour. The blue bag that says almond flour is good stuff, a lot healthier than real flour, gluten free and makes great cookies and breading for chicken, etc.....

I had the same experience, a lot of my bags were bad, as if you were brewing cardboard. Very strange, never had a problem. Out of the 2 boxes ( 2 x 240 bags) one of them had mostly bad bags. I had to smell them before throwing it in my mug

I tried the food saver bags today and was very disappointed with their inability to get all of the air out of the bag.. Is it because I have a Cabela's vacuum sealer and not a food saver? The Cabela's bags are smooth on both sides where yours are dimpled on side and smooth the opposite side..

Same thing happened to me and I never did get an answer as to WHY? But, I still like the bags and use them frequently. Keep trying to buy them local, but no luck so far.

We've only had ours for one season. So have not had this problem. Could the bags have become too porous? Try calling the seller. We did this last year. They were very helpful.

That's how it's supposed to work with the sealing bags. However, if your bags are coming open you probably need to adjust the heat setting to your sealing bar. If you've done that already and your bags are still coming open, it could be the sealer itself. I don't know which food sealer you have but I had that problem once with a prior food sealer and nothing corrected the problem. I now have a Lem Maxvac and I'm not experiencing any of the problems that I was having with prior sealers.

I had the same problem. I am sure this is what happen to our Bag. The heat set it tight, I used WD 40 also I took a crescent wrench. It was tough. Later I should of used a hair dryer with WD 40 or I could of used an auto spray for rusted nuts, a penetrating oil.

Good question.. I noticed in the last batched purchased, some bags were a lot thicker than others.. disappointing.

I've only had that happen once out of the many times I've used them. I think I put that one in a snack size reclosable plastic bag.

I noticed the same, so it might be worthwhile to let the sellers know. They may want to change their wholesale supplier. I will use the ones I have but will shop carefully. I double wrap my products so that they can't be seen through the bag.

I ordered a few bags and mine were firm and plump. Not dried out nor goey. I would order them again. Perhaps you received a bad batch?

I do not know why people are having a hard time feeding the bag. I use mine constantly and have never had some big issue feeding the bags in. Line it up, slowly feed it in. I feel they may be trying to shove it in there with the bag not flattened out. I don't know. I love mine!!

Hi. I read some reviews where people reported this, but I have had no problems whatsoever. AND I have washed several batches of wool and also alpaca fiber in them (fine hairs)...got some stuck in the zipper a couple of times, but was able to release it without damaging the zippers. I really like these bags.

You should never store flour in cloth bags because of easy insect infestation. Flours should be stored in air tight containers. If you have flour in a bag, there's a good chance that infestation happened at some point but all you need to do is to freeze that bag for a month or more and it will kill anything that may have come to munch. lol I bought a large amount of wheat grains from a farm coop and they came in plastic bags but they told me that due to storage, it's only natural that some infestation takes place and instructed me to freeze the grain. I did and then vacuum sealed the clean grain in gallon Mason food jars. Perfect. You should never store flour in cloth bags because of easy insect infestation.

No John, they are very troublesome. I think our machine just stopped working and we got rid of it. The bag fits, it didn't expand and fill up. It seriouslt may have been our cleaner and there is not a thing wrong with the bags. like I said, they fit well

Hi there! Andy here from Yummi Pouch - we have seen this issue in our current batch which is caused by a bad batch of zippers installed in the pouches! Such a bummer! We provide replacements for any pouches you have trouble with, plus our new batch in October has a new and improved double zipper that we just can't wait to release!
