[QUOTE="pnuner, post: 2456605, member: 211"] On the ones I've used each package has a four digit code that is the packing date. It would look like this for example 2335. The first number is the last number of the year of packing. In the example 2=2012 or it could be 2002. The last three numbers are the day of the year it was packed. In the example I gave the packing date would be the 335th day of 2012 (or 2002 or even 1992). This is why the inspection date on the case is important if the inspection date is say 2015 then you know the 2 in the example is 2012. Clear as mud :wink2: If you are going to buy individual MRE be sure to buy from a reputable seller. As far as how long they will last :anyone: I've eaten them that were several years old that had been stored in the back of a pickup with no ill effects. [/QUOTE]
