Question: What was the expiration date of the food? Is it newly manufactured, or close to expiration upon receipt?
Document: After receiving my 72-Hr kit for one person, the first thing I noticed on the outside of the box was the expiration date of 2016, which means the items would have been manufacturered one year ago (7 year shelf life). After opening the box, all items however did have a 2017 expiration date around May.After looking through the items, I've come to the conclusion that I'd rather purchase the items separately in the packets for 2 people.
Great food if you are backpacking, but if you are preparing for an emergency look at the products that last 25 years rather than 7. It does give one pause to eat food that has been prepared to last that long, but if you find yourself needing it I'll be you'll be very happy you have it. I would be very bummed to have to buy new every 7 years or be stuck eating food past it's due date when I'm in trouble.
I ordered, and PAID for, TWO Mountain House 72-Hour Emergency Meal Kit Boxes. What I GOT was a single brown box of the WRONG mix of Mountain House meals RE-PACKAGED with a TWO YEAR span of expiration dates, to the best of my information from Mountain House's own website.
Hot water if you want to eat a hot meal.MRE type meals are sealed in air-tight envelopes which are ready to eat upon opening. MRE type meals are usually available with a water activated heater. That heater is usually sold separately.The Mountain House products will normally taste better to me. But you have to remember that this is dehydrated food. You have to allow the food time to re-hydrate in water. Sometimes that requires heat, and sometimes it doesn't.
I bought this to include in my own earthquake preparedness kit because it has a 7 year shelf life. However, when I received it....it must have already been sitting on the Amazon warehouse shelf for a couple of years. The package has a "Date best used by " and it indicated that the product would only be good for 5 years. I'm not sure if I would have spent the money to buy this had I known I'd be short changed 2 years for storing.
Haven't tasted any of this because it is emergency food, but it arrived in good shape and what I expected when ordering.
I received what I expected. The food is good and stores well. I will buy this product again as I have in the past.
Bought this for my Doomsday bucket. Long shelf life and a good price and fast shipping. Have not tried the food yet.
A nice 3 day kit of emergency food stuff with a long shelf life so you have it when you need it. Feeds one adult.
the food has a great flavor, and the portions are generous, and filling. Obviously this isnt the four seasons, or even Denny's, but the ingredients are quality, and it is all well packaged.
Answer: yes
