The answer is "Yes" It CAN, It DOES and It Will do what it says! Over and Over
I purchased these bags to use in my FoodSaver 4840. First things first. These rolls will NOT fit in the Foodsaver 4840 model. Not because it is to wide but because the roll is to thick. As for other models I cannot say. This does not bother me as I am more concerned with how well the product performs. After you have used it awhile it will fit in the 4840 enough about that.
I use my Foodsaver for many different things. I make homemade bacon, sausage, etc. I just bagged 37 bags of homemade maple cured bacon. This bacon takes time and isn't necessarily cheap to do. I want to put my bacon in a food storage bag that I can trust. I package all of my meats in these and never once have I worried about their ability to do their job.
These bags are strong coming in at 4mills (that is strong considering I seal crawlspaces at 6mil). I have used a lot of these bags and have never had one not seal. If you do have one that doesn't want to seal I can pretty much assure you that it is something that you are doing wrong.
FoodSaver bags cost way to much for what they are. You are not sacrificing quality if that is something that you are worrying about. I would put these up against any other brand out there.
There are a ton of uses for these bags but that is not what this review is for. What you need to know is do they work? Are they really any good at that price point? Will they last?
The answer to all of your questions is "YES." They really are a GOOD bag! in fact you can even call them GREAT! (they are not magical) They will do what you want them to do at a what I think is a very reasonable price. I trust them for my pretty expensive meats. Really just try them. With a 3 Month Guarantee you can't go wrong.
Yes, I did. I paid full price for this item. And I’m still going to give you my fair take on how I feel about the product after I fully tested it. This I enjoy doing and I hope that I’ve helped someone come to informed purchasing decision. I am not affiliated with the seller, the manufacturer or Amazon.

Just wanted to update that I have had zero failures with this batch of 37 bags. That's also after several bags fell out of the freezer onto the concrete floor. I have more bacon, homemade sausage, venison going in now. I know this is a product that I can and will rely on for a long time to come.
