Review: Addressing Some Consistent Concerns - This is the fourth time I have ordered SurePak MRE's and I can say that the meals are high-quality, well-packaged, and pretty tasty even considering the fact that they are designed to last a long time. I store these in my disaster kit in my car's trunk (Southern California) so they are exposed to some pretty high temperatures in the summer months. For this reason, I rotate them about every 1 to 1.5 years as this is the manufacturer's recommendation for storage above 100 degrees. I always try a few of the meals that I'm discarding to see how they've held up, and I have never had problems. If I had to eat them passed their expiration, I don't think I'd notice a significant taste or quality difference. The heaters work quite well and more often than not, I have to let the food cool down before I can eat it. Typically, I only eat the main meal items (entree and side dish) as I've found some of the other items included in each packaged meal to be less than appealing (i.e.crackers/bread substitutes). Even without eating every item in the package, my hunger is more than satisfied. Primarily I am writing this review to address some of the serious concerns raised in other reviews. I want to stress that this is only my personal experience over the course of several purchases, and I know other people's experiences will vary, but the product is not universally flawed. I will address the most common issues I found in other reviews: -External packaging: sometimes the meals come in the colorful box pictured, sometimes they come in a very plain brown, box. In all cases the contents of the box have looked the same, tasted the same, and have the same variety and internal packaging. The box they come in doesn't seem to make a difference to the product it contains. Multiple food items that make up each individual meal are combined in a rugged, sealed plastic bag, so I imagine they probably just select individual meals and box them however. The individual meal is the product, not the case of meals. -Expiration dates: While I have never received meals that were expired, I have received some that were up to a year old. Given the shelf life and the conditions under which I store them, this is not necessarily a problem for me; I will be rotating them more frequently than suggested anyway. They still have a respectable shelf life and the expiration dates, while needing a little interpretation, are clearly stamped on each item in the package. You can't really expect to get items fresh off the production line; the manufacturer must maintain inventory and so you should always expect some of the shelf life to be used. -Heaters: I have never received meals without heaters when heaters were advertised as being included. Also, they work surprisingly well and if need be, you can eat the meals cold; they are fully cooked. -Variety: every box contains at least four different types of entrees and I have never gotten the same group of entrees repeated on subsequent orders, nor have I ever received a box with only one type of entree. I also have never seen (on desertcart) the option to select your entrees, so you're kind of stuck with what they send, but they do send more than one type of entree in each box. -Counterfeits/Knockoffs: I think maybe people think they are getting a fake product because of the shipping box looking very generic in some instances (see above). The meals are produced by SOPAKCO, which is a company that has been doing this for over 60 years and has a very comprehensive and informative web site about their products. Based on their pictures, descriptions, and specifications, the meals appear to be genuine to me. Again, these are only my experiences, and while I know it's an inconvenience, if you get anything less than what is advertised, return it. I don't think the company is being malicious or intentionally misleading and most vendors on desertcart will gladly refund or replace. Review: Better than i expected, the taste of the main meal . . . not so much - i liked it because this one had ALL the stuff for an MRE. the biggest problem was the fact that the meal had mashed potatoes, which were meh. no taste. The heater is good for one bag, if i am mistaken, please let me know, i never had MRE's when I was in the service - only 'C' rats. The cookie and the bread sticks were ok. The main meat meal did not heat up well and i had to reheat. i just love grape jelly. ## Features - Manufactured in 2015, check bottom of case for date code starting with 5 - No refrigeration required with up to a 5 year shelf life-when stored at 70 degree's.

The heater is good for one bag, if i am mistaken, please let me know, i never had MRE's when I was in the service - only 'C' rats. The cookie and the bread sticks were ok. The main meat meal did not heat up well and i had to reheat. i just love grape jelly. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Perfect for putting in back of closet. *by T***S on August 31, 2016* Fast shipping, ordered Sunday night, got here Tuesday afternoon. Case double banded, and flaps securely glued down. Don't use a sharp blade to open carton, it is FULL. Date on carton 5290 (October 17, 2015), dates on most items 5229 or thereabouts. However the Beef Roast with Vegetables entree was coded 4002 (January 2, 2014). It was still good-tasting (for MREs) and texture was as packed. No deterioration in 2 1/2 years. All in all, flavors reminded me of things I have eaten before and liked. The portions were adequate for me. There is a lot of food in one MRE. The one I ate last night had a total of 18.5 ounces of food. A typical meal has entree, side, dessert, and crackers with cheese, jam or peanut butter. It also has a 'bug juice' packet, coffee, sugar, creamer, salt pepper, a heavy-duty spoon, and finally a wetnap and a small paper towel. Description of taste and texture for one meal: Beef Roast with Vegetables Edit July 21, 2019@ I ate the marinara with meatballs last night. The marinara sauce was a little sweeter than I make it and there were a LOT of meatballs. 4 stars for entree Cinnamon bun was still flaky and firm. 4stars for cinnamon bun Cherry blueberry cobbler was the perfect sweetnes, the cherries were halves and just the right bit of tartness. The pastry was neither soggy or dry. My calico cat, Sugar, helped me eat the cobbler. 5 stars for dessert. The bread sticks were OK, but I only had three out of the four provided. Bread sticks 3 stars. So, this was a 4 year old meal and had no off tastes, deteriorated packaging or missing items. Edit August 2020 I had to start eating one of these every few days to stretch my groceries. They are STILL good, even though one had been in my emergency backpack in my car for three years. Temps ranged from 9 degrees to 102 outside during that time. Cats still slap each other out of the way to get the cobbler. Payday is coming and I am getting another case before winter gets here. The perfect thing to have for the pandemic currently occuring. I also bought some freeze-dried food at the same time. Based in my experience with them, I am raising my review to 5 stars. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sure-Pak MRE Meals Ready to Eat Case Pack of 12 for Survival and Emergency, New - MRE Entrees (18-Pack) – Beef and Chicken Combo - (Beef Strips, Stew, Chili w/Beans, Meatballs with Marinara, Beef Goulash, Chicken Chunks, Chicken Burrito Bowl) by Long Life Food Depot - MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat) Genuine U.S. Military Surplus Assorted Flavor (6-Pack) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/2640901-sure-pak-mre-meals-ready-to-eat-case-pack-12](https://www.desertcart.com.pa/products/2640901-sure-pak-mre-meals-ready-to-eat-case-pack-12) --- *Product available on Desertcart Panama* *Store origin: PA* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
