How Long Will A Home-Made MRE last, if it is Vacuum Sealed?
Hi
I am attempting to make some home made MRE’s for long-term preparedness storage.
They will consist mainly of dried goods (pre-flavoured rice / pasta / noodles etc) plus some candy bars, tea, coffee etc.
Assuming that the shortest lifespan (sell-by date) is on the candy bar – lets say 1.5 years – how much could that lifespan be increaced if all the food is sealed into a single bag using a vacuum sealer machine? and stored at the following temps:
room temp
refrigerated
frozen
thanks in advance
Good luck. Keep in mind that MRE’s are stored cooked for a year before they’re even packaged.
