There is this site survival.ecrater.com/p/10426912/emergency-food-storage-essentials-survival that offers ffod that will last 25 yrs. the cost is $159.48 i am not sure i would trust food that was stored that long but i am thinking of doing some research and see if there is others that have bought from this place and what their opinion is on the foods quality after so long a time. anyone here gotten anything from this site let me know. the cost for food is not bad if it will really last that long.

I do not know everything so take this on face value. I have some food stores put back, I am of the mind based on what I have been told to swap out the food items every 3 to 5 years. The food I have is not sealed in any type of long term packaging so the food from the web maybe packaged better to last longer.
That is something I would have to test over a time period to see if it is eatable and to prove or disprove the life span of the food.
I think you got the right idea of researching the web site itself. With all the survival food sources available to us today there will be some places that are just out to take your money over the real trustworthy company's

I agree with Starr, Some companies are just preying on people that want to be prepared... I think I would get the smallest quantity I could at first, try it, see if you even like it.... no sense having food that will keep if you can't stand to eat it... LOL I never priced any MRE type meals. Most of my food stores are foods I raised in my garden and dried or canned... And, you can buy dried beans and rice that will keep for many years in a gallon glass jar or some other container that you can seal up good.... My daughter is in the service, brought home some MRE's ... Only one of them was very tasty... the rest I wouldn't want to eat unless I had to! hahaha

I have several cases of Wise foods. It is mediocre in taste and the "servings" will not provide minimal nutrition for anyone other than a small child. Go to the wise website and read the nutritional info and ingredients. Most of the entrees are TVP NOT meat. Wise has some menus with meat but they are, naturally, more expensive. After seeing the deception in the forst order i placed, i am not buying anymore.
