Detailed explanation-1: -The Meal, Ready-to-Eat (MRE) is a self-contained individual United States military ration used by the United States Armed Forces and Department of Defense (DoD). It is intended for use by American service members in combat or field conditions where other food is not available.
Detailed explanation-2: -Storage and Shelf Life Checks How long MREs last depends on how long they are stored and at what temperatures they are stored. At the least, they’ll last 1 month at 120 degrees F. Or they could last 60+ months at 50 degrees F.
Detailed explanation-3: -You typically won’t find an expiration date on an MRE. If the seal is broken the food won’t last very long. The MREs will begin to lose their taste and nutritional value after long periods of time.
Detailed explanation-4: -An MRE date code is a 4-digit number stamped onto the outside of each MRE that helps you determine the expected shelf life. Specifically, it’s the date of production or manufacture. The photo to the right shows where this number is located on an individual MRE.
