Review: MRE's - Though these are not the first MRE's l have purchased from desertcart but l can say they are as any l have eaten in the past. Worked in war zones are them alot at times. But these shelve well and they are for Florida Hurricane Season. They serve the purpose and they are easy to use for all ages. The various dishes offered are seasoned well and they do taste good and most importantly they will help my family and l get through storms if needed. Review: Perfect and a good amount for the money!!! - We got a variety of beef and chicken like the advertisement says. These are filling! My teenager loves them and it’s beats her making those crappy chefboyrd can garbage food. This is a healthy option! We enjoyed them so so much that I have now bought another two boxes. I originally bought them for storage food and we decided to just try one, and now this will be something we always have added to our grocery bill. 3$ per pack which isn’t too bad and after eating it we were full until meal time later. I say if your looking for storage food, the price is right: don’t try one like we did tho or your going to be buying these precooked meals wondering why we ever did buy one of them disgusting TV dinners from grocery store. I mean I can honestly say that and cooked garbage from the grocery stores has nothing on these as far as taste, and health along with the wow factor of satisfaction… Buy this! If you don’t i will be lol, every week I’m buying two boxes ## Features - WIDE VARIETY: Pack includes 2 Chili w/ Beans, 2 Beef Goulash, 2 Meatballs in Marinara, 2 Chili Macaroni, 3 Chicken Burrito Bowls (8oz), & 5 Chicken Chunks (5oz).

Otherwise, they can be treated just like canned food – opened, emptied into a pan and heated anyway you choose, such as microwave, conventional stove or oven. Thanks, Long Life Food Depot **Q: What are the current production dates?** A: Hello Greg, We buy the pouches right from the manufacturer, and get the latest lots available. We usually have to buy several different lots of each item, to get enough to meet demand. Right now the Beef & Chicken Combo - 18 Pack contains 6 different items. I'll list the earliest lot for each item below, though each item probably has later dates too: Beef Strips - July 24, 2020 earliest production date Chili w/Beans - April 22, 2020 " " " Beef Stew - March 20, 2020 Southwest Beef - April 17, 2020 Chicken Noodles - May 1, 2020 Chicken Burrito Bowl - April 19, 2020 thanks, Long Life Food Depot **Q: Whats is the pull date?** A: The official shelf life of MREs is 7-10 years when stored at 70 deg. F (according to the Natick Research Labs MRE Shelf Life Chart). The manufacture date is shown in a Julian date code, which consists of 4 digits together. The first digit represents the year of the manufacture date. The next 3 digits represent the day of the 365 day year. So, for example, the 8056 digits represent the 56th day of 2008). You can find the Julian Calendar on-line, to interpret the date codes. **Q: Can you eat these cold or do they need to be heated up?** A: Hello Jon, They are fully cooked, so don't have to be heated. thanks, LLFD ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ MRE's *by M***T on June 17, 2024* Though these are not the first MRE's l have purchased from Amazon but l can say they are as any l have eaten in the past.

These are filling! My teenager loves them and it’s beats her making those crappy chefboyrd can garbage food. This is a healthy option!

If you don’t i will be lol, every week I’m buying two boxes ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Affordable, long lasting, but inaccurate MRE flavors *by J***. on November 18, 2023* I got these for emergency prepping purposes. I don't have any previous experience with MRE's other than seeing people review military ones on YouTube videos. The advantage of these is that you get only an entree and none of the other fillers. First impression upon receiving the box is that they are much smaller than I anticipated - but then again, how much was I expecting for $3.66 per pouch? The box they are contained in measures 10"x8"x6". Each food packet measures 4.5"x8". The quantity of food in each packet varies between meals. Very compact for storage purposes. The shipping box states almost a full 5 year shelf life which is great - better than canned foods. After checking some of the date codes on individual packets, I found that they were produced over 1.5 years ago. So the shelf life is actually much less than 5 years. Not surprising since the entrees were all mix and matched. Disappointing to me, but maybe not a deal breaker for others. So my box was cosmetically damaged upon arrival, which is no big deal. But on one side, it looked like it was slit open. Was it intentionally opened or not? Who knows what happened? I still had all the meals inside. So the list of meals on the box did not match what was given on the product listing. And what was contained in the box did not even match what was listed on the outside of the box! A full star off for that. I received 6 beef ravioli pouches - I hope they're not bad. The entree selection is actually from the actual military MRE menu - there are 24 different ones. I've only tested out the jalapeno beef under low activity conditions. It tasted like it looked. No one should be expecting gourmet food here, but it was edible. If and when you're hungry, you won't be and shouldn't be complaining. You'll be totally glad you have these. I'm a male just under 135 lbs. So far, I'll say that one pouch could barely suffice as a meal with the addition of water. But under higher calorie burning conditions, or if you're bigger than me, we would probably need to consume two of these MRE's for them to suffice as a full meal. At $7.33 per meal given what I paid, that would still be pretty economical. I tested out a couple more of these, but after heating them up first. They actually taste way better warm than cold - not surprising. To summarize, I would recommend these for emergency purposes, for outdoor hiking/camping/hunting ventures, or just as a convenient meal on the fly. Just don't expect your entree selection to be 100% accurate as other reviews have mentioned also. ## Frequently Bought Together - MRE Entrees (18-Pack) – Beef and Chicken Combo - (Chili Macaroni, Stew, Chili w/Beans, Meatballs with Marinara, Beef Goulash, Chicken Chunks, Chicken Burrito Bowl) Sourced from USA Govt Contractor - MRE Beef, Chicken & Pork Entrees Combo - 18 pack - A Pack FEMA MREs - Emergency Meal Kits with 12 Meals that are ready to eat, Long Shelf Life, Ideal for Survival, Camping, and Emergency Preparedness, Inspection Date 10/2024 or Better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/213381682-mre-entrees-18-pack-beef-and-chicken-combo-chili-macaroni](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/213381682-mre-entrees-18-pack-beef-and-chicken-combo-chili-macaroni) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
