MRE Inspection Expiration Date
The date on an MREs is the “inspection date” rather than an expiry date. The inspection date is typically three to five years after the meal was packed and they will last many years after. It’s used as a reminder for you to check that the meal’s packaging is in sound, that there are no signs that the meal is going off. But if you are in a rush and all you have to eat is a five year old MRE, then use your sight and sense of smell to make a judgement call about whether it is safe to eat. Over time MRE's as in all food will start to lose some of its value but the main protein will still remain intact. We have had many of our staff eat them long after any date in the field.
