HeaterMeals Entrees are made in a high quality food cooking and packaging process (similar to canning) called retort packaging, so shelf-life is good, and storage is uncomplicated. Retort is a cooking process that uses heat and pressure to cook food in its sealed package. HeaterMeals Entrees & HeaterMeals Plus Entrees come in 3/4 pound retort trays. HeaterMeals 3 Entrees are in 3/4 pound retort pouches, similar to military food pouches; but HeaterMeals 3 retort pouches are 50% larger than MREs. The USDA asks food manufacturers to print a “recommended consumption date” on each meat or poultry meal. It’s not a “safety date” (like on a milk carton). - HeaterMeals Entrees are marked with an easy to read “Please Use By” date of two years after the packaging date - printed on the individual package, and also on the 12 count shipping carton. - HeaterMeals Plus are stamped with a one year date after we package the meals (due to the commercial snack items, such as cookies & breadsticks in Plus meals). - All HeaterMeals Pancake Breakfasts have a shelf-life of up to one year after packaging. - All HeaterMeals 3 Meal Kits have a shelf-life of up to three years after packaging. Shelf-life recommendations for all HeaterMeals Self-Heating Meals are based on an average storage temperature of 80 degrees F. Similar to properly stored canned food, HeaterMeals Tray Entrées lose a bit of color after a couple of years (3 years for Pouch Entrees); but are still nutritious and safe to eat well after the stamped date.
