A flexible package includes first and second opposed panel sections, first and second resealable closure mechanisms, and a venting structure. The first and second panel sections define a first package end and a second package end. The second package end is open. The first and second closure mechanisms have an open and a closed configuration. The first closure mechanism is operably positioned to selectively interlock and close the second package end. The first closure mechanism and the first and second panel sections define a storage interior. The second closure mechanism is also operably positioned to selectively interlock and close the second package end. The second closure mechanism is positioned between the first closure mechanism and the second package end. The venting structure defines a gas-flow passageway between the storage interior and an exterior environment. The venting structure is constructed and arranged to permit gas-flow between the storage interior and the exterior environment when the first closure mechanism is in the closed configuration and the second closure mechanism is in the open configuration. The venting structure and the second closure mechanism are positioned to inhibit gas-flow between the storage interior and the exterior environment when the second closure mechanism is in the closed configuration.
