Meals– Ready- To- Eat [MREs]
Meals–Ready–to-Eat rations have been specially developed to meet the operational needs of the Army and Navy. The ration does not require any cooking since the contents are thermally processed and can be consumed readily after little warming, if required. The food so packed has one year shelf life under ambient conditions and is safe, palatable, nutritious and lightweight. It provides adequate calorific value and does not contain any chemical preservatives or additives.
