    Emergency Food Bars

    Give them a try, we haven't yet since there are only 2 of us and I'm not sure how to preserve them after we eat just 2.

    Susanne, Thanks for your positive review about our Food Bars! Since they come in a 9 pack, you actually can just seal them up in a zip loc bag once you open the packs. They will last quite a few weeks even up to a month if stored properly. Just always check for spoilage prior to consuming. Best Regards,Mandy

    Hint of Lemon With a Pleasant Aftertaste

    Just for kicks, I opened my sample package of Emergency Food Bars. Surprise! They were edible, and they satisfied my breakfast cravings while I completed some morning carpentry work. I tried this over multiple days with similar results. Second Surprise! as I ate the bars slowly, with a glass of milk, the aftertaste grew into a favorable affair, and I mentally rewarded myself for taking the test. Why eat them slowly? I was imagining being in a survival situation and those emergency food bars being my only comfort while lost, floating adrift on my sailboat or similar tough situations. Bottom line, I feel I could survive quite well on these bars for the duration of a short survival situation, and feel like I was at least fed.

    Lemon Emergency Bars

    Purchased them for emergencies as I live in cold climate. These can serve as extra handy nutrition during power outage or in our vehicles should we get stuck. They are not overly sweet in taste, and imagine they will serve me well when I really need them. Would recommend.

This kit may not provide enough calories for optimal nutrition, especially for an extended period of time, or if you’re pregnant, a child, elderly, or have other health conditions. In order to supplement your daily calorie intake, to add variety or to provide food for more than one person, we offer a number of supplemental products, including food bars, meat packs, fruit and vegetable packs, etc. By combining our kits with these additional products, you can ensure that you have 2,000 calories per day available to you during emergency situations.
