Will I Be Fine If I Eat a Decade Old MRE?

In the early 80's I was eating C-ration that were made in the late 60's. So, I am sure that the MRE is just fine. In the C-ration the only thing you need to avoid was not to eat the Blackberry Jelly that had been sitting out in the sun for hours.

Well....we're waiting!

Let us know how it goes!

What could possibly go wrong?!

It's Probably Better Than The Newer Ones,
And Still WILL Be, 100 Years From Now When
Some Other Of We G.I.s Ask The Same Question!
But Just EAT IT.!!
.. If Ya Get SICK Or DIE, Let Us Know, Okay?

If you eat that you should get a Purple Heart

Storage and Shelf Life Checks How long MREs last depends on how long they are stored and at what temperatures they are stored. At the least, they'll last 1 month at 120 degrees F. Or they could last 60+ months at 50 degrees F.

Back in 1999 while in Germany, had an MRE hat had M&Ms in it. On the package it said I could win tickets to the Olympics...In Seoul. That was 1988. The doctor certified the MREs and then a few of us ended up with food poisoning.

I ate sea rations that were packaged in 1946. So you are getting the new MRE's count your blessings you have the good stuff!

Why would you want too? It is not worth the question. Get a new one if your curious how they taste. BTW your not missing nothing.
