User questions & answers

Question:	Does anyone know if this comes close to providing 3000 calories a day for 30 days? I do not see this containing 90,000 calories
Answer:	The bags are not resealable that being said they are Mylar bags so you can heat seal them if you need to.
Question:	What is the shelf life
Answer:	The large bags take 2-4 cups. Really the same as any other freeze dried meals.They taste good. SUPER cheap, and easy to store. Plus you get a freakin bucket, I mean come on a BUCKET!
Question:	Would this be suitable for vegetarians (no jokes please
Answer:	It says directly on my bucket as of 2020 "unopened products included in kit retain their shelf life after kit container is opened" so if you open the bucket you're individual packets will still have a shelf life of 10-25 years based on food type and storage conditions. So anyone saying that opening the bucket lid lowers the shelf life to 1 year is lying.
Question:	How many servings per bag? And are the bags resealable
Answer:	We have been prepping for years. Knowing how to do this requires a LOT of knowledge. Sometimes, it is best to pay the price for a 'grab a bucket' type situation. Everyone makes that call. Having one - two of these is a good thing, then make your own.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the shelf life of this product
Answer:	Yes we can do it for a discount of 1 each 6 total
Question:	Why does the sausage have no flavor and chews like rubber. This product is not the same as before
Answer:	Not really, compare to buying a comparable diner in restaurant, it is reasonable price.
Question:	how do you store it in the freezer and how long does it last before use
Answer:	Only Luke warm water and that makes it eatable, it tasted good, but boiling water is better. Even with Luke warm or room temp water wait the full time anyway. Food needs to reconstitute to be food.
Question:	why is a pack of six pouches being sold for $99, that makes it $16.50 per pouch. When at WalMart this same item sells for $6.97 per pouch
Answer:	I was Very Satisfied with my purchase, however I would never pay $30.00 for this purchase of one pouch. Double check to make sure it's not for a pack of six which would be $5.00 per pack. Otherwise it sounds like price gouging to me and needs to be reported to Amazon and your State AG.

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the shelf life from today 10/10/17 Thanks
Answer:	The date on the Mountain House Breakfast Skillet pouches I'm selling is December 2049. The shelf life is approximately 30 years.
Question:	Is this item gluten free
Answer:	Mustard will wipe off pretty easily.. It's the ketchup you have to worry about.
Question:	Do these meals give you gas
Answer:	Older version (not gluten free) was good. I bought more thinking it was the same. I read reviews then tried it. Flavor is bland even with much salt. Egg is spongy and potato pieces are flavorless. They changed the recipe to comply with Gluten Free fad. They destroyed a good product. It is not edible or worth the cost.
Question:	This looks gluten free. Can anyone confirm
Answer:	I have a Staples Professional Shredder. The paper bag will hold one bin's worth of shredding. The paper bag does not fit into the shredder. You need to use a plastic bag in the shredder then transfer the shreddings to the paper bag.

User questions & answers

Question:	We're truckers and want to know if this product can be stored on a truck that can reach temps of over 100 degrees? Thanks
Answer:	To maximize shelf life, store food unopened and avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 75° . Higher temps won't cause the food to spoil but could alter the taste and quality of the product.
Question:	What is the source of the chicken, and where is it from? Is it made in America
Answer:	Albany, OR. In America
Question:	Once opened, can I repack the freeze dried chicken into smaller portions in mylar bags with oxygen absorbers? How long will they last
Answer:	I have done that, but my kids like to rob them from the storage and eat them like snacks. In my house once the can is open, if I am lucky they last a week. But seriously, I am pretty sure you're good for at least 5 years if you vacuum pack and seal them in the mylar bags.
Question:	Is this usa or china sourced chicken
Answer:	We source our meats as locally as possible from our facility in Albany Oregon. Our chicken is definitely sourced within the United States.

User questions & answers

Question:	is it too salty
Answer:	Each pouch is a "meal" which consists of 2 or so "servings". Not looking at the pouch as I type but there is typically 2 servings to every pouch. So you're getting 600 calories per meal, in this case, which is about right. One of the things I like about MH is that they are STARTING to come around to using "meal" rather than "serving". Needless to say a MH meal is or will be too much for some people and too little for others. However, other emergency meal vendors are sticking to "serving" when describing their quantities. That, as you have observed is SERIOUSLY confusing. With MH it's "one and done". With their cans it's a bit different but workable. With other vendors it's multiple pouches and leftovers. Especially Wise. Another thing is comparing the costs between pouches (meals) and cans (serving). MOST of the time you will find pouches are cheaper than cans per serving. That is subject to change, so check ALL THE TIME!
Question:	How many days will it feed a family of four
Answer:	Check the advertisement carefully
Question:	I am looking for a complete list of contents and what are the dates on the packages
Answer:	It is one pouch that contains 2 servings.
Question:	How many days will it feed 1 person
Answer:	Different sellers. Look at the sellers vs. shipping. Unless free shipping on single packs, the single packs will cost you the 4 shipping charges as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is the food from the USA
Answer:	Yes. It's a valid food source, but you will still be hungry. It's a nutritional source to keep you alive until you can find other foods, be rescued, get help, etc. The bars are packed with calories, and have a sort of lemon/coconut flavor. We had these on our aircraft as survival food when I flew with the US Navy. In other words, these bars won't fill you up like a full meal, but will give you energy and calories to survive. i have these in a small emergency kit in my car, as well as a larger survival kit in my house.
Question:	Are the bags re sealable or do you have to use all the contents in a package
Answer:	The ration bars are very dense and hold some weight, so maybe just throw a couple bars in your pack but you won't be ultralight if you humping around all 12 bars.
Question:	How much water is needed for a meal? and or the whole bucket
Answer:	I received two packs in one shipment.
Question:	is it true yes or no you open the bucket then you lose 19 years of life or to 1 year left
Answer:	It all depends on your calorie intake. Which, in turn, depends on your gender, metabolism, weight, and amount of physical activity. FDA guidelines are "2,600 and 2,000 kcal (10,900 and 8,400 kJ) for men and women (respectively) between 31 and 35, at a physical activity level equivalent to walking about 2 to 5 km (1 1⁄2 to 3 mi) per day at 5 to 6 km/h (3 to 4 mph) in addition to the light physical activity associated with typical day-to-day life". On the other hand, someone waiting for a rescue in a lifeboat (which is what these rations are intended for) doesn't really perform much if any physical activity, and so it may be possible to get by on a 1200 calorie diet, and stretch one brick to 3 full days.

User questions & answers

Question:	Are they individually wrapped
Answer:	No...they aren't wrapped individually
Question:	I have a dog that’s wont stop licking. Has anyone found that this food helped
Answer:	Licking can be a sign of food allergies, the most common being chicken. I eliminated poultry from my dog’s diet and went to all lamb (less likely to be allergic because it’s not fed as often). Other novel protein options include bison, kangaroo, fish, alligator, etc. He went from licking himself raw to no licking at all. What you can do Is eliminate all common allergens until the symptoms are gone and slowly add things back. I just eliminated poultry though and it worked! I know your question is pretty old but hopefully this will help someone out tgere
Question:	What is the expiry date of this batch of Primal freeze dried dog food
Answer:	I cannot find an expiration date, only a LOT #, which is D142413. I do not know what that means, guessing the 13 might be this year, but probably not safe to assume. The food always smells fresh and I usually go by the smell as I can easily detect being rancid or old that way. The pets LOvE this food! and I am glad to feed it because it is good for them.
Question:	What are the ingredients? My dog is allergic to so many things that I need to read the labels on everything I buy
Answer:	Old formula: lamb hearts, lamb livers, ground lamb bones, organic kale, organic carrots, organic yams, organic broccoli, organic apples, cranberries, blueberries, organic pumpkin seeds, organic sunflower seeds, minerals (zinc sulfate, copper carbonate, sodium selenite), organic parsley, organic apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, organic coconut oil, organic quinoa sprout powder, dried organic kelp, alfalfa, natural vitamin E, mixed tocopherols (natural preservative)New formula: lamb hearts, lamb livers, ground lamb bones, organic kale, organic carrots, organic squash, organic broccoli, organic apples, cranberries, blueberries, organic pumpkin seeds, organic sunflower seeds, montmorillonite clay, organic parsley, organic apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, organic coconut oil, organic quinoa sprout powder, dried organic kelp, alfalfa, vitamin E supplement, mixed tocopherols (natural preservative)
