Meals Ready to Eat

Taxonomy Code: BD-1800.8200-500

Programs that provide self-contained, flexibly packaged, precooked meals that were originally developed for the military but can also be purchased for camping or backpacking trips, boating excursions, search and rescue operations, remote retreats or other outdoor activities; or for use by people who want to add them to their emergency supplies. MREs are "wet packed" fully cooked, distributed in high-heat stable aluminum pouches with plastic laminate, and have a long shelf life without refrigeration. They are lightweight, easy to store and easy to use; and can be heated by any number of methods or eaten cold.
