Product Description

The 27 ounce, 3,600+ calorie ER Bar is formulated specifically in accordance with the stringent requirements of the US Department of Homeland Security and the US Coast Guard for emergency victims. Ideal for emergency situations, each packet contains nine individual 410 calorie rations that are ready-to-eat with no preparation. With a non-thirst provoking formula and a perfect balance of quality ingredients, it provides nutrition specifically formulated for disaster victims, including an optimum balance of salt, carbohydrates, protein, fat and enriched with the recommended daily allowance of vitamins and minerals. Food requirements will vary from person to person and may also vary depending upon environmental circumstances (cold weather requires more energy to stay warm, for example). Just one 3,600+ calorie ER Bar can minimally sustain an average person up to four days if necessary, but it’s advisable to evaluate the needs of your family and prepare accordingly. Following a disaster, food supplies may become disrupted, stores closed and power outages could last for days. The US Department of Homeland Security and FEMA recommend stocking a three-day supply of non-perishable food per person to prepare for emergencies. Even canned foods can spoil within 6 months. Get quality food rations that you can count on and store ER Bars in multiple locations for easy access to essential nutrition in an emergency. The special re-sealable package is vacuum sealed and certified by the USCG to maintain a 5-year shelf life. ER bars contain no tropical oils, coconut or nuts which may cause dangerous allergic reactions when no medical aid is available.

While I did not give the ER Bar the original 3 day simulated emergency test I had intended (consuming nothing but the three daily portions @ day with water and no other calories for three days total), I did manage to grind through the majority of a 9 square brick over three days.

As per description, each brick has indentations for dividing it into 9 portions. Due to the dense and dry nature of the food (essentially enriched flour, sugar and fat, no leavening), it has a tendency to crumble and did not break into even pieces, but as the indentations are merely portion guides, this is hardly an issue. Each mylar/foil package is zip lock resealable, which is a convenience not found in other emergency bar packages.

Taste is a mild lemon/vanilla flavor, not overpowering yet not flour and sugar bland either. It tastes a bit like a shortbread cookie with a much denser texture. Texture is somewhat crumbly, even powder-like when bitten or ground off a block/serving.

Like most foods, eating nothing but ER Bars for even three days would be taxing, but in a true emergency situation, you are eating to replace and replenish the basic substances your body needs to continue to function properly. On the other hand, I did not personally find anything wrong with the taste of the rations and while I wouldn't necessarily be eagerly looking forward to eating these three times a day, they are still palatable. And while some may argue differently, I generally agree with the manufacturer's claim that they are for the most part non-thirst provoking. No dry mouth.

Well, it's a brick of food. The taste isn't unpleasant, cake like in flavor. Texture reminds me of a really really dry dense piece of cornbread.For what it is, it is good for an emergency kit, but I wouldn't want to carry too many while hiking. I would definitely like to have a few handy though when it comes down to it. It also doubles as a blunt weapon.

The 3600 Calorie ER Bar (Emergency Food Ration) isn't gourmet food but it actually doesn't taste bad at all. I tried one of these out before purchasing a supply of them. It didn't make you thirsty and had a lemon/vanilla flavor which, if not exciting, was still pretty good. There are others on the market that are also quite good but this one had the best flavor while containing all the necessary nutrition. It is perfect for homes, boats, tornado and other emergency shelters, etc. But it is not lightweight. Its actually pretty heavy, so if you plan on putting one or two of these in a backpack and weight is a consideration you might prefer food tablets. I was however very happy not only with the product itself but also with the speed with which it was delivered.

I had purchased an 3600 Cal ER Bar before my kids were even born and had it in my car for "emergencies". 6+ years later, I was inventorying my car emergency kit and decided that I should taste test them to see how well they really hold up. Like other reviewers said, they're not super delicious, but they are sustainable and would definitely work for a true emergency during the first 3-5 days. I would definitely recommend these or other emergency rations that you can buy and forget. Just throw them in your emergency kit and you'll have something that is definitely not delicious, but will definitely work as emergency rations if it comes to that.

I was very impressed that they lasted 6+ years and tasted OK.

The package I received came in a resealable pouch. It is one large brick with indentation lines dividing it into 9 squares. I cut it with a sharp knife but it still crumbled. It is like a very dry, crumbly shortbread with a hint of lemon flavor. Rather bland but not unpleasant.

I find the crumbly texture and having to divide it into portions an inconvenience but it is the least expensive such product I have found and, for the money, it will keep you from starving for a while. Another reviewer warned about the concentration of niacin and most of the nutrients are at 40% of Daily Value per 410 calorie portion. 19 grams Fat, 52 grams Carb, 7grams protein. Long term this would have negative effects on your health. Short term it would keep you alive.

As long as it is for emergencies it is an acceptable product for the price.

This is like life insurence,you hope to never need it. But when you do ,it is great to have . The 3600 calorie ER Bar will keep you alive when there is no other food on hand.It has a good flavor and will certainly keep your stomach from "growling" at you.To me,it tastes better than year old wedding cake, what a mistake that was. It stores well ,under the worst conditions.Put a few in your pack ,or vehicle and forget they are there....When needed,you will be glad you did.

I haven't eaten any of these because I put them in my emergency survival kit. I bought a bunch myself - not realizing my mom had already bought me some! I looked at many different types of emergency ration bars, and these definitely looked the best. They definitely have the best price for the quality. They came in VERY good packaging. I highly recommend them!
