Well, I'm back to "Remedial Prepping"!

My understanding is that the individual FAK (First Aid Kit) now comes with EMT shears and a bottle of hand sanitizer, to sterilize your shears after having used them to open your Meal Rejected by Ethiopians, before replacing them into your kit.

As FYI for anyone interested in "combat shears" or EMT scissors, these are typical:

Shears are marked "Maratac™ stainless steel" and are your basic full size EMT / paramedic shear with a couple major twists.
We had the blades made with a black durable passivated low-light finish on the stainless steel blades. The handles are made of impact resistant composite in ACU (army combat uniform) grey color. Their uses in the real world are limitless. Besides their obvious first aid uses, they also cut flex-cuffs off prisoners, open burlap bags when searching for contraband, open MREs and they even cut coins. WMD specialists always have a couple pairs with them. Labeled "Maratac™ stainless steel".
