what is the shelf life?

I have 3 cases of Sopakco MREs that I bought in 2004 (now 11 years ago). Tried them for the first time a couple weeks ago and there are FINE! Very tasty (as MREs go), no complaints at all. These MREs are spec'd to last 10+ years if stored at or below 60 degrees. Mine have been between 60 and 70 degrees. I will gladly buy more of these once I cycle through what I have.

I obtained a case that FEMA gave out after Hurricane Ike in 2008. The last time I ate one was in 2013 and it was still good. From the time I got them they were stored at temperatures of 74 - 78 *F. I don't recall how old the case was when I got it (what date was stamped on the side).

Depends on the temperature of where they are stored. A stable 50-60 degrees should give 10 years at least. Wild temp flux or higher storage temp can reduce it down to 3 or 4.

My personal view is that 5 years is about all you can count on before the food quality and taste begins to degenerate. Sustained storage with temps above 75 degrees or so will reduce storage time.

As a general rule, the shelf life is 9-12 months. All depends on how the product was stored in your home (a cool dry place). Hope this helps to answer your question.

no idea - i use it when i buy it. The product is very effective - the best I have found. Who cares about shelf life when you have the best product?

If you order from a reputable company, the shelf life are well within safe sell dates. Some expiration dates are from 3 months to next year.

Not really sure of the "shelf life", however, an expiration date is printed on the package bottom. Perhaps you can get more detailed information by contacting the company at Revision, LP - IMC4, Irving, TX 75063

I believe 10yrs is shelf life. People want to store in case of emergency. But I have purchased twice before and each time kept using and enjoying for more than 6 months. It still taste good.

The shelf life is, from my understanding, forever as long as you keep the moisture out of it. It takes me about 6 mts to take it but I keep it in a dark cool dry place. I put what I use in one container and keep the rest put up until I run out of what I am using from.

I looked this up before I bought these and Ask.com says that the shelf life is 9 months on the individual containers. Once opened 7 days refrigerated.

Hi, shelf life is typically 1 year from time of purchase (but storing in colder places will help!)Thanks,Green Bulk team

I had mine on a shelf for over a month and they were still fine. I would imagine they have a shelf life of at least 6 months or longer.

I do not know the shelf life but after opening I have just kept it on cabinet the shelf, that is, I did not refrigerate it.

I am uncertain of the shelf life. We used one and did not open the other for at least two weeks and it was still fresh.

I do not know the published shelf life, but I have used one year old product which worked just fine. You might want to check with manufactuor or review product data sheet.

yes there is a shelf life I guess. Mine said Oct. 2014 which probably wasn't even a year after I got it.

shelf life is dated on the container: I think a year. Does not have to be kept in the refirgierator..They are great!
