Emergency Food Ration Bars -12 Count Coffee Flavor Compressed Biscuit Survival Tabs, Food Rations Supply for Outdoor Camping Hiking Snowstorm Earthquake Disaster, 20 years Shelf Life

Bought these for a couple of reasons:-1. ‘just in case’ (car, home, purse, work, emergency)2. For taking on long hikes with our dogs - these are super small & light, meaning more room for food & water for our dogs & emergency first aid etc. (=longer hikes)Flavour: I chose original. The flavour is very inoffensive, slightly sweet, and if you’re a Brit, think ‘digestive biscuits’Texture: it’s initially quite hard as you bite into it but the texture then immediately changes and hydrates in the mouth very well. It’s a little bit like shortbread when chewing it, so yes you’ll want something to wash it down but actually you technically don’t ‘need’ to drink anything with itEnergy: I’ve only eaten one bar to taste it and test energy efficiency, an hour before I did a 60-min HIIT workout. Incredibly, this gave me more energy than my pre-workout drink.Digestion: I had expected something like this to give me a horrible stomach upset as the stupidest thing sets me off, but amazingly I had absolutely no problems - no bloating, no stomach ache, nothing.Packaging: there are 4 bars inside each vacuum foil pack that are then individually wrapped too. Each portion (2 bars) is 230 Cal so you know exactly the calories you’re consuming.Whatever you’re considering these for, they do the job for hunger, energy, flavour and storage (car, purse, etc.) as they’re compact and light

Haven't tasted yet, looks pretty good.

Taste is way better than ships emergency ones. You will need to drink fluid with them as they are very dry and take all the moisture away from your mouth. 25 year shelf life. Eack packet is double sealed. Ideal for emergency food.

Perfect for a rainy day, or a global catastrophy. I bought these as it was on a list for Apocalyspse ending bug out bag catastophies. I don't anticipate that, but nice to have, just in case I have to make a cross country trip with limited resources. But, if I am camping, they will make a perfect nutritional substitute. Packed for longevity. Great job.

Smaller than expected and no use-by date displayed on packaging. Hopefully it will taste ok when needed.

Tastes good too but bit expensive

Another Christmas present for a family member. The item came on time and just as described.

Bought for home emergency situation.Chose these over other brands due to the 20 year use by date. Mine is stamped 2044.Will supplement with tinned foods to boost calories
