Product Description

MRE (Meals Ready to Eat), means that all the contents are fully cooked and can be eaten hot or cold. Each MRE has an average of 1,100-1,300 calories, which replicates the calorie count of a complete meal. There is no need to add water to an MRE. Simply open the pouch and enjoy! MREs are perfect for any outdoor use and/or emergency situation. Their aluminum thermo stabilized pouches provide a long shelf stable without refrigeration. Many private entities, law enforcement, hospitals, fire departments, FEMA, Red Cross and government agencies depend on MREs as a part of their emergency plan for food supplies. We want to give the best cuisine contained in a Mil-spec, retort pouch and offer a variety of restaurant and home style entrees. Our complete MRE kits come with the following items: 8 oz Entrée (9 varieties, 6 Different per case, 2 of each per case) 2 oz Dry Fruit (Banana, Pineapple, Papaya, etc) 2 oz Raisins & Mix Nuts (Raisins, Peanuts, Almonds, Sunflower seeds) 2 oz Sugar cookies Drink Mix (Flavors: Orange, Lemonade, Pink Lemonade, Grape, Strawberry, Fruit Punch)) Accessory Pack (spoon, coffee, sugar, creamer, salt, pepper, napkin, moist towel) 12 flameless heaters per case

3.0 out of 5 stars These are NOT MREs, February 18, 2011

This review is from: MRE Star with flameless heaters (Misc.)

The title is misleading. While these are meals and are "ready to eat", the term "MRE" normally refers to a specific type of government-issue ration. These are somewhat good, but significantly inferior to "real" MREs. (It's been several years since I had "real" MREs; from what I understand, they are continuously improved upon. My last MREs dated from around 2002.)

The meals I received consisted of a main course (some type of stew or pasta in sauce), dried fruit, mixed nuts, 4 lemon cookies, and drink mix. Also included was a heater pouch and a small accessory pack with spoon, napkin, salt, pepper, coffee, and sugar. They might have a wider selection of main dishes, but everything I received was stew or pasta.

Give this to anyone who has eaten a real MRE, and they will immediately ask: "Where's the peanut butter?" - it's not here. Neither is the actual side dish present in most MREs, nor are the crackers.

While food choices are going to be limited in any type of ration, these offer a particularly narrow selection. Every meal is stew, fruit, nuts, cookies. I've eaten "real" MREs for a week straight without a major reason to complain; I would tire of these after three in a row.

With "real" MREs, the type of main dish varies and isn't limited to stews and pastas. The side dish/dessert varies, and there is even some variation in the rest: plain crackers, vegetable crackers, bread; peanut butter, cheese, jalapeño cheese; various types of jams jelly. I've heard some new ones include a milkshake!

While you probably won't find real, government-issue MREs on Amazon, you can find very similar products. 9218 SURE PAK COMPLETE MEALS WITH HEATER

1.0 out of 5 stars This item is not what it says it is..., May 13, 2011

This review is from: MRE Star with flameless heaters (Misc.)

This items description was posted as "...Features: 12 MRE Full Case. 8 oz Entree (6 varieties, 2 of each in every case, total 12 MRE kits per case). ..." I received only 11 "MRE"'s and they were very small ratios in comparison to the gov. issued MRE, Also the description says you would receive two of each of the six, i received 3 of one kind and a few that i only got one of... this MRE package doesn't include any heater for your coarse like an MRE should and in the description it tells you that with your meal you will receive "Side Dish or Dry Fruit. 2 oz Raisins & Mix Nuts. 2 oz Cookies. Drink Mix (orange flavor). Accessory Pack (spoon, coffee, sugar, creamer, salt, pepper, napkin, moist towel)." I did not receive any Dry fruit, Raisins & mixed nuts, or Drink mix and the accessory pack didnt contain any creamer or a napkin. The description of this product is missleading in every way...

I would NOT recommend this product to anyone due to the missleading nature of the discription!

Purchased as a gift for my son and he loves them. They are kind of bland in my opinion and they do need to be heated up. These DO NOT include the heater.
