How to choose

Emergency food: what to know

Emergency food is often sold by the serving, and a serving can be anything. We size every food kit at about 2,100 kcal per person per day, the planning figure used in humanitarian standards, and print the total on the label.

Three days and two weeks have official backing. Thirty days and beyond is a personal choice, and we label it that way. Whatever you choose, store it cool and dry, and remember that freeze-dried food needs water to prepare.

Common questions

How long does emergency food last?

It depends on the type. Ration bars last about five years. Freeze-dried meals in sealed pouches carry manufacturer shelf lives of 25 to 30 years when stored below about 24 °C. Heat shortens everything, so avoid garages, attics and vehicles.

How many calories per day should emergency food provide?

Humanitarian standards plan on about 2,100 kcal per person per day. Many 72-hour ration bars provide 3,600 kcal in total, which is 1,200 kcal a day: a survival ration, not full meals.

How much emergency food do I need for a family of four?

Multiply by person-days. Four people for two weeks is 56 person-days, or four Pantry 14 pails. For 72 hours it is 12 person-days: four Food 72 pouches.
