MREs are multi-course, shelf-stable, ready-to-eat meals developed for feeding soldiers in the field. They are very similar to Canadian IMPs (Individual Meal Pack) with a water-activated meal heater included.
Each meal comes ready to eat straight from the package. They’re rugged, waterproof, and easy to open so you can take them anywhere. Each pouch comes with everything you need to eat the meal, cutlery and condiments included!
Each meal pouch includes:
- Main course (listed below)
- 3-4 Side components (side, bread item, spread, snack, dessert)
- Beverage mix
- Mini Tootsie Rolls
- High power, safe to use, flameless meal heater
- Accessory Pack: spoon, napkin, salt, and pepper
- Coffee pack: coffee, creamer, and sugar.

STORAGE
The pouches are high-density, water and tamper proof bags that help give the contents their extended shelf life.
When possible, it’s best to keep your MREs in a cool and dry place that’s inaccessible rodents and other pests.
Like military MREs the TOTAL PREPARE MRE meals have up to a 5 year shelf life if stored in temperatures up to 21° C. & 3 year shelf life between 22-27° C.
You can also freeze a TOTAL PREPARE MRE pouch if necessary. It won’t damage the food inside!
MRE menu items are packaged in a retort pouch to maximize their shelf life. Before the package is sealed, the food is commercially sterilized and the oxygen is removed. This means there’s very little possibility for any oxygen or bacteria to get into your food while the pouch remains sealed. Once a pouch has been opened or punctured, it should be consumed or thrown away immediately.
