Is it a zipper?
You can cut a retort pouch along the perforation to open the pouch.
After cutting the perforation, you can put the pouch into the fridge by closing the pouch by mating the protruding line and groove on the pouch.
My question is whether the protruding line and groove are called "zipper"?
Can I say, "Close the zipper and put the pouch into the fridge."

If the thing has a little tab that you hold between your thumb and first finger, and which you pull along the groove in order to seal the pouch, then I think "zipper" is possible. Otherwise, I don't think "zipper" works. Either way, I think I'd probably just call it a "seal".
