Easy Meal’s Long Shelf Life Food - Easy Meal Food Service

Easy Meal’s shelf life of 10+ years means you can trust our meals to taste amazing when you need them most. Thanks to our state-of-the-art freeze-drying process, we’re able to preserve all of the original nutrition and flavor of our food products.

You never know when a disaster is going to strike. Thanks to our meal kits’ long shelf life and compact design, Easy Meal is an excellent solution for your long-term food storage needs.

While our meals are proven to taste great 10 years after their production, our tests show that Easy Meal products can last even longer. That’s because our freeze-drying process allows us to preserve all the original qualities of the food without any sort of preservatives.

That being said, it’s important to follow all recommendations for storage to ensure your food maintains its freshness and quality. Learn more about how to store our products.

Preparing for my annual State Survey just got a little less stressful as now I don’t have the annual burden and expense of rotating my emergency supplies every year. We are expecting our survey any day and I am looking forward to the opportunity to show them our new Emergency Food Plan from Easy Meal.

I've stocked the Deluxe Easy Meal packages in our emergency supplies for over a year. I suggested OFD to CPS several years ago, and recommend the product to other LCS communities.
