Why MOUNTAIN HOUSE foods have excellent flavor, convenience, and storability
The MOUNTAIN HOUSE name is your assurance of premium quality foods that may be stored for years.
The exclusive MOUNTAIN HOUSE freeze drying process locks in the natural flavors and colors of our premium-quality foods. Only water is removed, reducing weight up to 90 percent.
Packed in an atmosphere, with under 2 percent oxygen content, the foods will taste delicious years from now.
MOUNTAIN HOUSE freeze dried foods have the flavor appeal of freshly frozen foods, with added energy saving advantages so important every day, and especially during emergencies.
MOUNTAIN HOUSE – a storable feast to enjoy anytime!
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.
