## Description

Genuine Military Surplus MRE (Meals, Ready to Eat). 12 Meals x 2 Cases = 24 Meals Pack date: 2017 Inspection date: 2020 - This is NOT the expiration date. Meals are good for at least 7 years if stored at 70 F or below. In a cool and dry environment

Review: CURRENT INSPECTION DATE AND GREAT PRODUCT AND VALUE. WILL BE BUYING AGAIN!! - Buyer be aware these 2 items ship separately. Received 1 each of menu A and menu B meals. Both have inspection dates of June 2025. As a veteran, I am quite familiar with the meals and have definitely consumed my fair share over the years. As a member of a unit that didn't fit under the parameters of a major command, we were classified as a "Special Operations" unit, but to be clear not "THE" SPECIAL OPERATIONS. Anyways, I had the opportunity to meet a Representative from one of the MRE contract companies. The whole mfg and inspect by dates are very simple. MFG Date is exactly that - the date of mfg. They guarantee 100% calorie and nutritional value as stated for 5 years. After 5 years it begins to degrade nutritionally, but (depending on storage conditions) at a few percentage points a year. The purpose of the inspect date is exactly that. You inspect the MREs looking for bloated packages or compromised packaging which I personally have only seen 6 meals bad out of more than a dozen PALLETS inspected. Its just like your groceries, use your senses of sight, smell, and taste to determine if the MRE is still consumable. Our rule was "WHEN IN DOUBT, THROW IT OUT!"
Review: Great experience. - Quick ship, product just as described.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Why are these now almost 400 dollars when a few months ago they were only $130?**
A: Since everyone is adding their 2 cents in the answers I guess I will join in. Firstly to the guy who said these are an example of socialism and that they were made using taxpayer dollars you don't seem to understand how military surpluses work. The government didn't make these using taxpayer dollars. A private company makes tons of these and sells them to various buyers including private citizens, emergency response agencies, charities that feed people across the world and yes the US military. That isn't socialism that is capitalism. And yes MREs and LOTS of other products increase in price when COVID hit. You can blame the seller or you can blame the ding dongs hoarding and buying stuff at double the price.

**Q: Should the pack date start with a 7 if the inspection date is in 2020?**
A: Yes that is correct.  we are looking at the pictures and they seem to be 2016 pack date and 2020 inspection, which is odd.  This is not our listing and we have no control over the pictures on the listing.  Our MREs will have a 2017 pack date that will reflect on the case  with a Julian date starting with a "7"

**Q: Hi. What is the difference between case A and case B?**
A: They are different meals. 
see page 8 and on. A is 1-12 B is 12-18

**Q: Looking at mre expiration, pack and inspection dates, an mre has a 5-7 year max shelf life from pack date, that means these have expired?**
A: The pack date was 2017, which means they are good until at least the end of this year or at the most until 2024.
