Back in December of 2010 I wrote about some Datrex emergency food bars (white package) that had reached the end of their shelf life. I had cut one open and it did not look all that appetizing, with an oily appearance and smelling of coconut.
Well last month, I had some other emergency rations expire that I cut open to inspect. This one is the “ER Bar” and the package describes a lemon vanilla flavor. We were pleased that it looked very edible and smelled and tasted like a thick shortbread cookie. The package calls this a three-day food supply for one adult.
I had actually planned to bring an ER Bar to the January CERT meeting for a mass tasting but forgot. Maybe next time.
Do you have an adequate supply of emergency food?
