Delicious Meals Anytime, Anywhere
For nearly 40 years, Mountain House products have been the first choice for backpacking and camping, as well as emergency and food storage needs. Our foods are shelf-stable and can be easily prepared with just boiling water.
Mountain House #10 cans have a 25 year shelf life when stored properly!
#10 Cans-- 25 Year Shelf Life
Mountain House® freeze-dried foods are packed in airtight NITROGEN PACKED #10 cans. Up to 98% of the residual oxygen has been removed. Our unique canning process uses both vacuum oxygen removal and nitrogen flushing. This is a time consuming and slightly more costly process…but well worth it. It is the same process mandated by the U.S. Military for whom we also can. Our foods will have the longest shelf life available…up to 30 years! We've been around for 40 years so we know first hand. We invite you to compare. Each can is coated with a protective enamel inside and out for double protection, including the lid. The can contents are protected until you are ready to open and use them. After opening, we recommend using the contents within 1 week for best results and taste; using the convenient resealable plastic lid between uses. Treat any leftover food as you would fresh food.

STORAGE AND HANDLING
DO NOT OPEN UNTIL READY TO USE
It is necessary to store Mountain House products properly to ensure maximum shelf life. Store the product in a cool area, avoid long-term storage above 72oF, and be careful to not puncture the can. Under these conditions, Mountain House meals will maintain its shelf life for product quality, flavor and nutritional value.
Once open, contents should be used immediately. However, product resealed using plastic recloseable lid has been found to be acceptable up to one week after opening.
This package is sold by weight, not volume. Some settling may have occurred due to shipping, handling or variations in the product density.
