What is the expected shelf life of these?

Expert Answer

Answered by Ethan C., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on April 16, 2019

These have an inspection date of 2020, however an MRE will store for about 5 years, if stored at 75° F or less. The cooler the temperature, the longer they will store. Some items in an MRE will last longer than 5 years, although the wet pack entrees typically expire within 5 years.

Yes, the $114.88 is for both cases; if you look at the end of the item number there should be a letter indicating A or B, those are the respective cases. Hope that helps.

Case should have 12 meals. How long it would last for one person depends on how many you eat. Since each MRE is roughly 1300 calories, and depending on how active you are it can last you between 6-12 days. The 2020 inspection means you need to inspect the case and meal pouches for any damage. Other than that, they should last you a while as long as you store them in a cool and dry space. The menu options are listed In the product description.
