Each year the companies that
produce the MREs for the military come out with a
new set. Each year the
menus stay relatively
the same, but improvements are based on
recommendations by the troops who have to eat them
and the military leaders. Each box is
stamped with a date packaged, an inspection date,
and the menus by number. We refer to each
box as "A" (menus 1-12) and "B" (meals 13-24).
Normally the military will inspect and remove all MREs that are not overseas that pass the
inspection date. However MREs are good from
10 to 14 years and really once you go that long
thet can still be good. I have yet to find
that out.
