We offer the best tasting food with the highest quality and a long shelf life that is scientifically proven to be the best value in food storage. If you are trying to choose between one of our competitors and us, feel free to give us a call or start an online chat so we can help you in making your decision.

 

Where are we located?

 

We have corporate offices in Salt Lake City, Utah. Our food is naturally grown on farms across the United States, and has guaranteed freshness.

 

Can I taste test the meals before I buy?

 Of course! We offer sample packs to our prospective customers who want to taste test before they buy. You can give us a call and let us know you would like to be sent a sample and we will send one out to you immediately.

 

How are the meals packaged?

 

Our meals are packaged carefully in individual nitrogen flushed Mylar pouches that seal in nutrients and flavor. Those pouches are then stored and sealed in stackable Polyethylene buckets. By using this durable and space saving packaging, the food is stored safely and securely and can be grabbed by the handle if you’re in a hurry.

 

How many servings are in one bucket?

 

 There are some brands that manage to stuff 200 servings in one bucket that is the same size as our 60 serving bucket. This tells you that their serving sizes are tiny and only have about 60 calories per serving compared to our 250 - 300 calories per serving.

 

Will the food go bad if I open the bucket?

 

No, the food will not go bad if you open the bucket because the meals are sealed in nitrogen flushed pouches within the bucket. They will still retain their 25 year shelf life. If you open the bag, however, that shelf life will start to decrease because the meal has been exposed to open air.  

 

Where should I store the food?

 

The best place to store your food storage is somewhere that isn’t exposed to a lot of light and where it can stay relatively cool and dry, like a basement. Heat, light and moisture can degrade any product over time, and although we made and packaged our products to endure the elements (light and moisture especially), there is always a risk of overexposure.

 

How long do the meals last in storage?

 

The meals have a 25 year shelf life.

 

After 25 years is the food inedible?

The meals can be eaten after 25 years, even after 30 years, but after that time the meals slowly begin to lose nutritional value.

 

Do the meals contain any meat or fish?

 

Our products are surprisingly 100% vegetarian. This means our meals retain a longer shelf life than other competitors and never goes rancid. Research shows that the oils in meat and egg based products can go bad after being stored for a period of time. We use soy and Textured Vegetable Protein (TVP) which is high enough in fiber and protein to very adequately substitute meat in your diet, and it will not go bad.

 

The taste, however, will surprise even the heartiest of meat eaters. It is our commitment to provide you with a food storage meal that is rich in taste with a 25 year long shelf life. Our meals can be preserved for use in both the most critical and convenient circumstances.

 

Are your meals gluten free?

 

Our food is not gluten free. We have done our best to make our meals as healthy as possible for an emergency situation. The meals are ideal for people that aren't allergic to gluten. When considering this product we recommend that it be taken as an emergency food and not a health food.

 

How many calories per serving?

 

Our meals are around 250 - 300 calories per serving and retain their rich nutritional value.

 

Are the meals freeze dried or dehydrated?

 

While many of our competitors commit to either freeze drying or dehydrating, we decided to take a different approach. We use both the freeze drying and dehydrating methods in our meals. We carefully observe the elements of each meal and use whatever process works best with the food to produce the best taste, texture, and shape. Most importantly, the food retains its nutritional value. We dehydrate most of the noodles and rice and freeze dry almost everything else like the vegetables.  We only do this to improve the taste and texture. Our product is studied with scientific precision to deliver the best tasting and most capably preserved product on the market.

 

How much water is needed to cook the food?

 

You only need one cup of water per serving for each meal.

Do I have to use hot water when cooking the food?

 

If hot water is unavailable to you, you can use water of any temperature to rehydrate the food. Cooking the food with hot water typically takes about 12 minutes, while cooking with room temperature water will take between 20-30 minutes to hydrate the meal.
