Question 1

What is the shelf life?

Accepted Answer

I have some of the old ones in the green package, I found them in a military storehouse back in 2003 and I'm still eating them ( Dec 2017)  Someone told me they were from the Vietnam war era.  Still taste good to me. The gum has petrified but the meal is okay.  I think the gum is to poison the enemy if they get hold of it anyway.

Question 3

if the inspection date is 2018! does that mean the mre,s wont be good after next year? what date would this case of mre,s not be eatable

Accepted Answer

No they are good for 5 years after that date as long as you keep them in a cool dry place. Their is a red sticker on the box that will turn black when they go bad. They can last longer then 5 years if you store them correctly.

Question 4

It says not all meals have a heater what then would you use?

Accepted Answer

I have been eating MRE's for over 20 years while backpacking, car camping, RV camping and motorcycle camping.  I do not use heaters because they are a pain to set up and you have to wait for the food to get hot.  MRE entrees are cooked before they are packaged so IMO, heating is not essential.  I thought the MRE's that I got from Western Frontier were good date wise as well as quality wise.
