FOOD TIPS
MREs and similar-packaged food rations have a shelf-life of about five years, although extreme heat or cold, exposure to sunlight and other factors could shorten the life of the product. Canned food from your grocery store might be a better option for survival rations as estimates for the shelf life of canned goods range from 18 months to indefinite depending on who you ask.
