Once the food has gone through the freeze-drying process, it can be stored for 20 - 30 years. But there are two components that will cause our food to spoil more quickly: water and oxygen. Freeze dried food will last much longer if it is sealed in a #10 can or a Mylar bag. These containers will keep moisture out of the food so that it wonât reconstitute and will be ready to use when you need it. You can also add an oxygen absorber to the container to keep your food bacteria free for years to come.
We stand by our packaging; we use BPA-free, food-grade plastics, double-enameled, stainless steel metal, and metallized bags that are air-tight and water-tight. Our freeze dried meals and dehydrated foods can last up to 25 years when kept in proper storage conditions (stand-alone pouches and MREs excepted). That means that unlike those cans of tuna fish and sardines, you donât have to rotate your SuperPails, Emergency Essentials cans, and just-add-water meals.
