Degus Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Quite off the subject(s) but does anyone know the shelf life of MRE's? Iv'e got 3 or 4 cases going on 3yrs old and am wondering if I should toss them or keep them around a while longer. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigDork Posted February 26, 2004 Share Posted February 26, 2004 Here is just the first website I found when I typed MRE shelf life into Google. 5 years or so. Enjoy! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The equivalent EPA of the Bundeswehr was 5 years, too. 3 year olds were distributed on Fridays: "Take what you can carry". The chocolate was good... the chewing gum too... the cookies were ... hard, very hard... never tried anything else.... IIRC my sister used the chlor (?) pills when she worked in Marocco ahhh...memories.. Gruß Joachim 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GenSplatton Posted February 28, 2004 Share Posted February 28, 2004 Three years of age is NOTHING for an MRE. The ones we were fed when OIF kicked off were well over five years old already. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
