A: Your survival food is designed to last 25 years on the shelf. You’ll have peace of mind knowing that with proper care… your “backup plan” will be delicious for many years to come.
The secret is in the packaging: first, your food is preserved using state-of-the-art freeze-drying technology and a careful “low-heat” dehydration process. Then, it’s carefully packed in Mylar* to help protect against air, light and moisture. We use a high-tech, high-capacity oxygen absorber to suck OUT any excess air. And the pouch is “cold sealed” to keep it airtight.
All this fancy technology seems like a lot of work. And it is! But it’s the secret to keeping your food safe for an amazing 25 years.
The 25-year shelf life of your food and its packaging is dependent upon proper storage conditions. Excess heat and/or damage to packaging may decrease shelf life. Storage conditions can impact the shelf life of your food. Your survival food will last longest when in stable, cool temperatures… away from moist air.
So for best results, always protect your food from heat, air and moisture. Avoid prolonged exposure to temps above 75 degrees F. And keep your food sealed until you’re ready to eat it. Shelf life will vary based on storage conditions.
