Meals are good for at least 7 years if stored at 70 F or below. In a cool and dry environment Review: Undamaged and High Quality - Phenomenal, very well priced, and tasty!!!! Review: Excellent quality, enough to make me a repeat customer. - Call me a lazy meal prepper, but I am a regular consumer of MREs in my line of work due to their convenience, calorie density, general macronutrient balance, and relative inexpensiveness given the options available to me. On most work days, I can easily hit my macro goals with Huel and an MRE without having to put much thought into it, and it works out to like $10 a day. For me that’s easy and cheap. I like easy and cheap. I bought (and received) two cases of MREs from Ozark Outdoorz—the bundle of menus A and B. I’m a Marine Corps veteran and well versed on the ‘ins and outs’ of MREs, the various companies that make and pack them, and what to look for in terms of freshness, and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of items I received. The cases arrived in perfect condition, each with the original manufacturer’s (Sopakco) black strapping tight against the outside, and then both were bound together with white strapping. The boxes were entirely undamaged, and have original dot matrix printing indicating they were packed in December 2017. The Time and Temperature Indicators (TTI, the orange stickers to check freshness) appear to be original as well, and show that the cases have been properly stored to maintain freshness. I cracked open Case A and the meals inside all have date codes indicating they were manufactured in the last week of November and the first week of December 2017, consistent with the dates on the boxes. I’ve eaten two from this shipment so far, and found the quality to be just as I would expect from an MRE manufactured yesterday. If there’s anyone else who is on the fence (like I was) wondering about the quality to expect from this seller, hopefully this answers a few of those questions. I will definitely be making another purchase in a month or so. ## Features - Inspection date: 2020 - This is NOT the expiration date. Meals are good for at least 7 years if stored at 70 F or below.

Firstly to the guy who said these are an example of socialism and that they were made using taxpayer dollars you don't seem to understand how military surpluses work. The government didn't make these using taxpayer dollars. A private company makes tons of these and sells them to various buyers including private citizens, emergency response agencies, charities that feed people across the world and yes the US military. That isn't socialism that is capitalism. And yes MREs and LOTS of other products increase in price when COVID hit. You can blame the seller or you can blame the ding dongs hoarding and buying stuff at double the price. **Q: Should the pack date start with a 7 if the inspection date is in 2020?** A: Yes that is correct. we are looking at the pictures and they seem to be 2016 pack date and 2020 inspection, which is odd. This is not our listing and we have no control over the pictures on the listing. Our MREs will have a 2017 pack date that will reflect on the case with a Julian date starting with a "7" **Q: Hi. What is the difference between case A and case B?** A: They are different meals. see page 8 and on. A is 1-12 B is 12-18 http://www.dla.mil/Portals/104/Documents/TroopSupport/Subsistence/Rations/acrs/mre/m037.pdf **Q: Looking at mre expiration, pack and inspection dates, an mre has a 5-7 year max shelf life from pack date, that means these have expired?** A: The pack date was 2017, which means they are good until at least the end of this year or at the most until 2024. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Undamaged and High Quality *by E***D on April 2, 2026* Phenomenal, very well priced, and tasty!!!! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent quality, enough to make me a repeat customer. *by D***K on March 26, 2019* Call me a lazy meal prepper, but I am a regular consumer of MREs in my line of work due to their convenience, calorie density, general macronutrient balance, and relative inexpensiveness given the options available to me.
