MRE Shelf Life

“The MRE shelf life varies depending on storage conditions, see the chart below as a reference . For example, if kept at 60F (temperature controlled conditions), the shelf life of our product could reach 48 months.

The standard for most of MRE manufacturers is 3 years shelf life at 80F from the date of assembly of the meals.

Based on the above information and depending how the MRE’s are handle and stored once they leave the manufacturer’s premises, wholesomeness could exceed the initial 36 months from the day of assembly, normally printed on the boxes.”
