Review: I purchased this 12-pack MRE variety case to stock both my home emergency pantry and my vehicle grab-and-go kit. My goal was simple: reliable, high-calorie food that requires no external water or preparation. My initial thought was one of curiosity about the random selection (Case A or B), and I was immediately satisfied to find the assortment provided a good, diverse mix of main entrées and sides. Experience and Analysis These are genuine U.S. Military Meals Ready to Eat, and they perform exactly as expected for their intended purpose. Each meal delivers the critical high calorie count necessary for sustained energy during periods of high exertion or emergency. I tested several meals, including a main protein and a dessert, and found the packaging integrity across the entire case to be flawless, indicating reliable long-term storage. The most valuable feature is the integrated Flameless Ration Heater (FRH). It consistently heated the entrée to a piping hot, palatable temperature in under 10 minutes, requiring only a small amount of water. This functionality is crucial, as hot food provides a significant morale boost in adverse conditions. Furthermore, the inclusion of coffee/drink mixes, crackers, spreads, and accessories (spoon, matches) confirms these are truly self-contained, complete meal solutions that go well beyond a simple food packet. Honest Pros and Cons Pros High Calorie Density: Provides the necessary 1,250+ calories per meal for sustained energy and performance during emergencies or hard physical work. Self-Contained Meal: Each MRE is a complete kit with a main course, sides, drinks, and utensils; no external cooking equipment is required. Reliable Heater: The Flameless Ration Heater (FRH) works quickly and consistently, delivering hot food without the need for fire. Cons Random Menu Selection: Since the case is selected at random (A or B), you are not guaranteed specific meals and may receive a few more duplicates than desired. Heavy Weight: Due to the durable, complete packaging, MREs are inherently heavy, making them suitable for staged storage but less ideal for ultralight backpacking. Verdict This variety pack of MREs is an essential purchase for any serious prepper, survivalist, or rugged outdoor enthusiast. It is best for those who prioritize long shelf life, high calorie count, and the ability to consume a hot meal anywhere, anytime. The convenience and proven reliability of the U.S. military standard fully justify the investment. Highly recommended for peace of mind.
Review: Just as ordered and I got lucky and received the Menu I wanted and that’s a 50/50 thing as there random boxes but there great kits for survival gear and fishing/hunting/camping as well !!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: 12 meals for $170? Is this a joke? Or is it 12 boxes of 12?**
A: Your sarcasm and anger is justified. Some people say we don't live in a country but rather a large capitalist corporation. Remember those times when people were trying to well bottle of lysol for 1000% margin? Companies like ebay or amazon didn't care because some fees go by sale price. Finally when people complained, they shut a few people down but it's a drop in a bucket. Anyways for 170 bucks you can probably buy few hundred pounds of rice

**Q: So I just purchased this recently for about $35 cheaper than it currently is, why is the price fluctuating so much?**
A: I just got the same 14 in a box for 30 . They are out there at the right price if you want to hunt them down

**Q: Where can I get the ingredients for each meal? I am lactose intolerant and would like to buy only dairy-free mres.**
A: I would guess googling which mre meals are lactose’s free. They’re meal numbers 1-24, 1-12 being case A 13-24 case B. Some items change time to time depending on what they choose as the meals for that year. Like a couple years ago they added a pizza mre that is new. But every item in an mre has a complete ingredients list. So even if the mre isn’t completely lactose free you can separate items with it and without it in each meal.

**Q: Those are close to 3 years old.... Were they properly stored - or left to sit is a warehouse.. Those are "iffy" ....I want to know storage history..**
A: As far as my listings personally, they are all issued to military personnel same year as sold. None of mine have a lower inspection date than 2022/11 and are kept inside an air conditioned building. But Amazon created a new policy that requires QR codes to verify these which I’ve never seen on an actual military issued box of MREs, and won’t allow me to list them under the 2022/2023 listings.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Review
*by J***H on 29 June 2025*

Bought these as a "just in case" item and will likely be buying more. I've had these before and they're pretty good as MREs go. Each meal includes its own heater (water is needed to activate them, which you need to supply separately) and has a main dish, side, dessert, snack, and assorted accessories. They are dated as requiring inspection as of September 2025, which means that if kept in a cool dark place they'll store potentially for up to 5 years, maybe more depending on storage conditions. They were also an insanely good deal price-wise. They are high-density calorie content, taste pretty good, and while a bit heavy are a great option for emergencies, car camping, hiking, etc. Highly recommended.
