(The polybag measures 5 3/4 inches wide by 14 1/4 inches long.) Simply cut open the top of the FRH polybag sleeve and place the MRE food portion inside the bag next to the heater. Add plain water to the “Fill Line” and fold the open end of the bag. In just 12 minutes, you’ll be able to enjoy a hot meal without needing fire. Heating Instructions for Frozen MREs Use two heaters: one to thaw, one to heat. To thaw frozen MRE: Follow instructions above except add water to bag before adding MRE. When heater begins to feel warm, add MRE to bag. To heat thawed MRE: Follow instructions above. In cold weather, heater can be placed in BDU pocket to heat MRE. Make sure folded end of bag is up to prevent water from leaking out. Making the Meals with Flameless Heaters Not sure how to make these ready-to-eat meals? Follow these steps to prepare your food with the included flameless heaters: Open the box and pull out the flameless heater bag. Tear open the flameless heater bag, then slip the packaged meal inside. Add enough water to reach the fill line. Be sure not to overfill. Fold over the top of the flameless heater bag, then reinsert it into the box it came in. (The bag will heat up quickly, so act fast!) Place the box at a slight incline, such as perched against a rock or tree. Allow it to sit and cook for 5-10 minutes. Once cooked, remove the flameless heater bag from the box. Both the box and packaged meal should be warm to the touch. Tear open the tabs on the packaged meal and dig in! WARNINGS Vapors released by activated heater contain hydrogen, a flammable gas. Do not place an open flame in the vapor. Vapors released by activated heater can displace oxygen. Hot water leakage can burn and cause a cold-weather injury. After heating, the heater bag and MRE pouch will be very hot. Use caution when removing MRE pouch from bag. Discard heater and bag after use. Do not drink the water remaining in the bag or use it in food items. NOTE: HEATER AND ITS BYPRODUCTS ARE NOT INTENDED FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION.  *Shelf life up to 3 years when unopened.

Storage This shelf-life chart was designed by the US Army research and development center (NATICK) using a panel of everyday people to determine when an MRE no longer tasted acceptable. The panel found that while MREs would not taste “fresh” after the shelf-life date, they could maintain their nutritional content far longer. That means you can still eat many of the components of your 12 Complete MRE Food Supply well past their date (though some components may expire sooner than others). .
