Wornick MRE Meals Ready to Eat, 2024, 2025 Inspection Date or Better, Emergency Food Supply, Survival Camping Outdoor Meals 12 Pack (A & B Case Bundle, 2, Count)

Excellent purchase. Product arrived 4 days early (!) in perfect condition and exactly as described and pictured. Looks fresh from the factory with a new inspection date at the end of 2027. TTI sticker perfect (indicates proper storage). There is an informational sheet inside that not only gives return instructions if damaged, but exactly how the shelf life and inspection process works for MREs. I'm a retired Marine and had no idea (I wasn't supply, I just ate them). They could be good for almost 20 years provided they are properly stored and pass regular inspections. Read the sheet it comes with. I've eaten some OLD MREs while I was in (the little bottle of Tabasco sauce was 3/4 evaporated and brown), but the food was fine.I'm not going to get into which ones are "good" or "bad", but rest assured MREs today like these are head and shoulders above the first ones I had decades ago. Old timers may remember the dehydrated beef patty, pork patty, and "five fingers of death" (five bland hotdogs in a pouch). Nothing like that in here. All much better stuff - even BBQ beef and pizza!Unlike much "emergency" food, you don't need heat, flame, or fuel with the enclosed heaters. Just a little water which doesn't even have to be drinkable, it doesn't touch the actual food. Can also eat them cold and it's fine, or even heat them up on an engine block (which I've also done). There is nothing to rehydrate (except drink mixes), no pots, pans, or electricity necessary. There's other things you can do with the heaters as well, but I'll leave you to Google that :)Each provides 2200 calories which is a lot, but remember these are primarily made for men and women in the field who are burning a lot of energy, they aren't for living off of the rest of your life. In an emergency I don't think many will be caring about their figure. The high calorie count is a good thing.I've wanted MREs in my stash for awhile but was often turned off by the price or the fact they were old surplus in beat-up stained boxes. This is actually a really good deal, way less than 5 bucks each for a complete meal. Can't even get a small fast food meal for that anymore. Each also gives you things like crackers, cheese, peanut butter, jelly, desserts, drink mix etc. Very happy with this purchase and would recommend. Wish I could give it 6 stars.

These are military quality MRE's. Unless you've eaten them before, you may be surprised. How does a box of MREs get a 5 star rating? Primarily because of the seller's, WeBuyDirect, exceptional customer service.Edible goods are not returnable to Amazon or any other U.S. seller, for many reasons, and understandably so. Please be aware of that fact. In my case, I have an intestinal disorder which controls what I can eat without discomfort. I ordered Box B and I received Box A, and one meal was missing. I contacted the seller immediately to advise them of the two issues. I received a box/menu I didn't order, there were four items I could not eat, and one of those, meal (11), was missing. I was shocked by their reply - instead of hiding behind the no return policy, which we both acknowledged as reasonable, they apologized and asked my help in finding a suitable solution to the problems. The problems were satisfactorily resolved, in the manner of a partial refund from the seller, within a matter of a few days. I was the obstinate one, initially.The inspection date on the box I received is December, 2024, less than 4 months ago, and the box bears a packaging date of around December 7, 2001. The "official" longevity of an MRE is 10 years, but they are generally inspected every three years. The "official" longevity for C-Rations in the Nam era was 5 years, and I've eaten 50 year old C-rations without ill effect. Anyway, this means that regardless of inspection date, the MREs I received are around 24 years old. That doesn't matter to me, but it may to some.If you think you need MREs, you probably do. And you probably know the downsides as well as the nutrition and taste trade-offs. You may wish newer production, but I would buy again from this seller without hesitation.

So i ordered both A & B boxs, I have been trying them out all week and i would have to admit the quality and taste of the food was very good. They only have 1200 calories per MRE, excellent seals, long term shelf life, Big variety, And each MRE was different, they all have a large meal that can even fill me up and i am a 6' 235 lb Man. Beware the heat packs in them they get very hot. the steam can burn you when removing them. I will buy again

These MREs arrived two days early and had an excellent seal on the box, very hard to open but that’s a good thing. Inspection date was the same month I ordered as well so they should all be good to go. Pro tip, stick them each in a freezer bag and store in your refrigerator in order to make them last ten years at least from package date.almost forgot to mention the value, you won’t find a better price on these . Can’t wait to try these out.

I am happy to reminisce with these and see the new menus, they remind me of sitting on some DMZ somewhere in a past army life. I recommend to keep in the closet before the apocalypse or whatever. They are government property and clearly marked not for resale but whatever, keep em coming Bobby G.

Prep-wise, I'd rather have HDRs stored on account only of each pack has a lot more calories, but these are something I can actually enoy eating just as a dirty meal. Sausage and peppers was surprisingly good, and cheese tortellini was even better than a can of Beef Ravioli. The sides and snacks are nice enough for a bit of variety and altogether the contents are quite a full meal.But, again, HDRs list at almost double the calories and each comes with 2 entrees - lunch and dinner I'd call them - though again, they're not as yummy.The jalapeno beef patty is really, really not good, even with condiments from my fridge. All else has been a little surprisingly tasty. I'd be content with these as camping foods, and I'll keep one or two in the truck, somewhere inconvenient enough that I won't open them unless I'm pretty hungry.
