Is it good for long term food storage

I think so ... but I've never measured the time frame to go through a box of cereal, pasta, etc.

Lid snaps on, but pops open easily. Not sure it is air tight enough for long term freshness

If kept in an air tight container it will keep indefinitely. I have had some last several years with no problems

I have not tried storing in fridge, but I do believe it will still be good. I hope this helps.

I wouldn't store it much longer than necessary, but to give it a number 18 to 20 years. If the can isn't damaged that is. Dented cans use first. Those won't last 18 months.

No it is not airtight. I would not suggest it for something that needs to be stored in a airtight container

Yes, you'll here a lot of different shelf life info for MREs but they are made to last about a decade. If stored in a cool dry place they will definitely last longer. I've eaten over ten year old MREs in the field and they were just as good (or bad depending on your perspective) as they were the day they were made.

I have not had it stored very long, but can only guess that as long as the container cap is tightly closed it should last for years as long as temperature conditions are stable and not too warm. It is however a petroleum product and the effectiveness in some petroleum products can deteriorate even if never opened over many years. I apologize for this non-answer, if you plan on keeping it without use for a long time you should consult someone with expert knowledge, I just like how it works and don't know about it's intricate chemical properties.

As long as you store it properly without folding or crushing, I think they will last for years. Very similar to the ones I grew up with and lasted 3 to 5 years with mild use.

It is recommended to refrigerate after opening to preserve this product over a long period of time.

It is thick and would keep it clean but I can not answer to if it is safe to store in plastic for a long period of time. Contact mfg. It is a quality product and did not smell of plastic.

Yes it can be used long term. I use it in my off grid home everyday. And, if you follow the instructions all solids will compost.

I try to buy a few during the cooler season. It stores good for a long time. Shouldn't go bad

I've had mine since April 2013 and even though I don't use it daily, it's held up fine after over a year of use. Just don't try to stuff it too full and you should be fine.
