Overview

About Food 72

Food 72 is 3 days of food for one adult at about 2,100 kcal a day. Breakfasts, mains, sides and drink mixes are freeze-dried or instant, so they need only water, and a share of the calories comes as ration bars that need nothing at all.

Use it to bring a Core kit up from a survival ration to full daily calories, or keep one per person in a desk drawer at work. Heat shortens shelf life, so a car in summer is the wrong place for it.

What it does not do

We would sooner you knew now.

  • Most of the meals need water to prepare: budget about 0.9 L per person per day on top of drinking water.
  • Not suitable as the sole diet for infants. Contains common allergens including wheat, milk and soy; the full ingredient list is on each pouch.

Questions

Why do you list calories instead of servings?

Because servings can be any size. Some emergency food is sold by serving counts that work out to under 1,000 kcal a day. 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 box.

How long does the food last?

The freeze-dried meals are packed in oxygen-free pouches with a manufacturer shelf life of 25 years when stored sealed below 24 °C. The ration bars last five years. Heat shortens both, so a basement beats a garage or attic.

Can I return it?

Yes. Unopened kits can be returned within 30 days of delivery for a refund. See the Shipping & Returns page for the details.
