british army rat packs are better ,had the USA rat packs not the best in my humble opinion

The name Vestey rings a bell, are they one of the suppliers for the modern military rations?...... hold on a sec......
Just checked my GHB I've got a few rations of Boil In Bag Beans and pork sausages in a foil pack, I got them out of those rat packs I bought from EVAC8 last month they are made by Vestey

Looking online the shelf life is advertised as 18 months to 2 years, so may not be ideal if you are looking for long term storage.

I think the Mountain Warehouse range ( think that's what its called) has a shelf life up to 3 or 5 years
RE: Vestey Foods MRE - Devonian - 7 November 2014
The freeze dried Mountain House tins (which I think are the same as the packets) are good for 25+ years....
Yep 25 years:
