U.S. Meals Ready to Eat (Variety Pack of 12) – (A or B Case Selected at Random) Nutritional Emergency Food Rations - Freeze Dried Food w/ Flameless Heater, Entree, Dessert, & More - MRE Kit for Emergency Survival, Hunting, & More

Happy pappy! Case B, 12 MRE. All well within their edible range. And case B has some of the best picks imo. Including pizza, cr_p on a cracker ( chili), and tons of other greats. The price for this unit was absurdly cheap. Iv paid 100 bucks a case in the past, this unit is definitely the best deal anywhere on the market. The seal is nice and sturdy, it's easy to use, and the heaters work e specially with a dash of salt. It's a solid product.

These are legit. Haven't tried them yet will update when I do but the temp tag was good and there is decent variety in the box. At roughly $5 a meal, these are an amazing value only beaten by the higher calorie but meatless U.S. humanitarian rations. I like to break them down and repack with my vacuum sealer, and will likely mix these up with the veggie humanitarian rations and toss in a pack of chicken or tuna. I do long day hikes and backpack and found this type of meal more efficient then freeze dried, which despite weight savings still requires you to carry fuel and a stove (and have plenty of water!).The heaters are not critical for my purposes and from other reviews and talking to my vet friends understand them to be wonky at best.Shipping was incredibly fast I was basically surprised by the case on my porch.As we continue to enjoy living in *historical* times I'm going to grab a few more cases so I can rotate out and eat my older stuff. Help may not be coming soon if things go bad, so get to know your neighbors and share resources before SHTF. Strength in numbers and community.

Meal Items have improved since I served and I couldn’t have been happier with these MREs on a recent camping trip. The inspection date was this year and they arrived in excellent shape. They’re new and the heaters worked flawlessly. If you’re looking for self contained easy to pack and prepare meals in the field take advantage of all the R&D Uncle Sam did to make modern MREs a reality. Will buy again.

I take chances with not opening the box after several months of receiving it, I mostly keep these as a backup in case there's a food shortage, or when traveling/camping etc. As long as the straps are intact, there's no revealing damage (punctures, slashes, dropped from a 2 story building) and the TTI sticker doesn't reveal exposure to long term heat 80+, we're good.I wasn't happy (they = who ever shipped it) put the document bag right over the TTI sticker, almost like they were ashamed something might be revealed. But, they lucked out and it was still in good condition when I removed the white portion. I really wish (they = the shipper) would overwrap the box with a thick paper at least to hide what's inside, these are not cheap replacements due to porch pirates. It doesn't need to be over boxed as it's already well protected, and the mailman doesn't need to know ALL of your order habits. :)Anyways, since the TTI is good and the box isn't mangled. It's a good bet the food is intact. Always keep these in a70 degree and below environment away from the sun light.You get a lot of nutrients in these meals, with tons of variety and tasty portions. I wouldn't live on these, but they are good for emergencies. The mains are filling, most of the time you should heat them for maximum taste value. Although, you can eat all of these cold. The snacks and sides are fairly well assorted, you won't get bored of them unless you eat a box every month.The heaters are hit & miss, from experience you can take the salt packet that's inside the condiment pack and add a dash to the heater and it gives it a kick to the reaction of the water/chemical mix.Keep one in your car during winter when you travel, one in your backpack for hiking. You don't need a knife or scissors to open them as they pull apart on the top of each MRE, and they all come with a long sturdy spoon. Everything should be easily eaten without need of a knife, you can even eat all of it directly from the mylar packets they are packed in.They are based on calorie needs of the soldiers, and you know they need tons in the field. You can typically spread each MRE out in 2 portions if you aren't going to push yourself burning 1500+ calories within 2 hours. Eat the main and have the drink powder, and 30 mins later eat the snack/side.I've had these in the past, and still use them now for civilian life as it's just convenient for car trips, and adventures. Ozark has been my go-to for the supply of these for several years, they have not failed me.

I wasn't too thrilled with some of the menus, but they usually end up being good anyway.Quality was great.

Bought one case to try out before ordering more because the price seemed too good to be true, but the gamble paid off. Everything was fine, the meals were great (for MREs lol) and now I've ordered two more

I've seen so many others promise great MRE's but this company after 3 times ordering continues to update price with demand and definitely follows along with the inspection dates. In general you can expect an inspection date ahead of the current time, which is great. So many others have inspection dates well in the past and that's ok, but for the prices they seem crazy while this is spot on for what it should be. I wouldn't hesitate to order in the future whether it's lower or higher in price. It's just what they say is legit what you get.

Just what it says they are. Box was in great shape. Showed up quick. great price and the MRE's seem to be in good shape. nice selection of menus. I keep them around for emergencies, but I also rotate them by having them as lunches and travel meals a couple of times a month. can't beat the price per meal for the quality.
