GENERAL INFO
MREs are 3 course, shelf-stable, ready-to-eat meals developed by the US Military for feeding soldiers in the field. They are the most technically advanced food in the world.
All our MREs are prepared and packaged by US Military contractors and contain the same menu items as found in US Military MREs. Each Meal Kit Supply MRE includes an entrée and side dish, bread or cracker and spread (jam or jelly), dessert, beverage mixes, condiments, and spoon (refer to the visual below for expanded MRE contents). The average food energy per kit is 1,345 calories; Meal Kit Supply’s MREs have the highest calorie count commercially available.
Because the food is retort packaged, it stays fresh tasting without preservatives. The retort pouch is a made of a strong, layered combination of polyester, aluminum foil, and polypropylene, allowing it to effectively seal the commercially sterilized food ration for long periods of time (USDA, 2012). MREs are the gold standard for emergency preparedness because of their packaging and are also favorites of hunters and outdoor enthusiasts, as well as emergency personnel.
