You wouldn’t want to live off of MIL-SPEC Meals, Ready to Eat (MREs). But if you want to live no matter what happens, then you had better keep some MREs handy. No emergency stash is complete without them!
These MREs are made by AmeriQual Foods to Department of Defense specifications. The exterior of the case has a Fresh-Check indicator, as well as production and inspection dates.
You can receive any combination of the dishes below when you order this “Menu A” package. Note that menu options may vary slightly, as the military is flexible with these particular contracts.

CURRENT INVENTORY INSPECTION DATE: MAY 2025
IMPORTANT NOTICE: MRE Test/Inspection Date vs. Expiration Date
MREs are designed to be shelf-stable for extended periods under proper storage conditions. Unlike traditional food products, MRE's do not have an expiration date. Instead, they are assigned a test/inspection date, which is used to evaluate the product's quality and integrity.
Test/Inspection Date: This date is provided by the manufacturer as a guideline for periodic quality checks. It does not indicate spoilage or a need to discard the product. If properly stored, the MREs can remain safe for consumption well beyond this date.
Shelf Life & Storage Guidelines: MREs stored at room temperature (75 degrees F or lower) can last 5+ years beyond the inspection date. If stored at cooler temperatures (below 60 degrees F), MREs may remain viable for 10 years or longer.

Not for keeping around long
Disappointed. Ordered two each of A and B menus, all were two months away from the inspection date, meaning they were nearly three years old already, with nominally two years of life left. No mention of packing or inspection dates in product description, otherwise I would not have bought them.

Item as described.
Worth having extra supplies of food in case of an emergency. Each meal comes with Toilet Paper.

All Good Except Heater
I’ve only tried one meal so far. Maple sausage and sides. I ate everything including the sports drink and coffee. The coffee was actually better than my backup instant coffee store brand, lol. Everything was pretty good and did not taste old or poorly stored. The only thing substandard was the chemical heater. It barely got warm. I understand this is very common and only very recently packaged MRE’s can be depended on to have effective heaters. Overall, I’m pretty satisfied with the quality, price, and purchasing experience.

Amazing Value, Great Meals
I actually enjoy having MREs on hand in case I haven't made a grocery run, or sometimes just for fun. I've never had a full case before, and I've only had 4 meals from the A case before, so I had 8 new meals to experience. Overall, there's only 2 that I would say I didn't like (menus 5 and 12, in case you're wondering), and aside from a couple "ok" meals, I very much like the rest of them a lot. At the very least, they're all very filling, and can keep me fed and full the majority of the day. Plus, the price on this site can't be beat. Overall in am very pleased with my purchase, and I even bought another A case, alongside the B case.

These MREs are easy to make even for my 12 yr. old. He ate the Chili Mac one night when I made cabbage. I wish that you had more than the A & B boxes.

Can't beat in a situation.
Used these for years. Hard to beat.
