I received a couple of samples of freeze dried meal entrees from Food Insurance: lasagna and beef stroganoff. Pictured above are the contents of the packets as you open them. They come with an oxygen absorber which I removed promptly. (Tip: Remove these before you forget, I’ve done it.)
The instructions are simple: Just add a cup of boiling water, mix well and seal. Leave it alone for 9-10 minutes and it is ready to eat.
Here is what the food looked like after it was ready:
The shelf life is 25 years for the meals that come in the “long-term meal plans” and 7-10 years for the meals that come in the backpack kits.
I was not able to find the individual meal packets online at the Food Insurance website, however I found out upon contacting them that customers calling in, can purchase them for $5 each.
These entrees can be found at https://www.foodinsurance.com/

Hi Clarissa, Yes, the packets that are sold for $5 (not shown on the website but can be purchased by calling) are one serving each, probably can serve 2 if for kids.
