What is the shelf life of an MRE?
They can have an inspection shelf-life of up to 5 years. After such time the meals are subject to inspection and may still be good to eat. They are no longer guaranteed to maintain nutritional value and taste but will not go bad for a long time after. We find that MRE's are usually good to eat much longer if stored property.
"The above storage data and time periods were based on “acceptable taste” measures, which is a subjective standard that may vary among each individual. Test participants were asked to indicate which products they were presented would be rated to still be of “acceptable taste”. Responses were noted, and average values were calculated to yield the data above. The resulting data does not indicate the maximum useful life of MRE food products. This information is provided as a general indication of the effects of storage temperature on MRE-type packaged foods and not necessarily a guarantee from the manufacturers."
