Wise Company Emergency Freeze Dried Breakfast - 120 Servings

Great value

I just don’t care for it. I do not know why, but I do use and have a lot of emergency food kits.

Ordered these as an emergency food source and so far haven't needed them which is a good thing but the thought of not going hungry in an emergency situation is very comforting.

The food is very bland and watery. I prepared the packets according to the packets and they were all watery. You would definitely have to add meat or something to this to make it more filling. I also recommend stockpiling spices and salt to go with these meals. Also, they are packaged in 6 serving bags. There are no instructions as to how to make only a portion of the bag. So you have to cook the whole packet at once. This is frustrating because if you are trying to ration your food, if you prepare it all and don't have refrigeration, what do you do with the left overs? I wish it was packaged in individual servings or maybe even two servings per package. 6 is just too much. Or give instructions to divide it. I will say that customer service is really good. Since I was purchasing this to try it out, not to store, I opened the bucket immediately and one of the packets was punctured. They sent me a replacement for the damaged packet. But I would recommend opening all the buckets to make sure the packets are sealed shut.

I read many reviewers mention that some of the packs had holes, so I was sure to check my bags immediately upon delivery. The delivery box was fine, and the bucket itself was fine. No damage at all. Inside my gluten free box were all gold plastic packs. The packs are all multiple servings, 6 or 8 servings. As I pulled out the packs, I noticed several had some powder on them, and the bucket did have some orangey powder on the inside as well. The orange powder smelled like ramen flavor pack. Examining the packs, I found that the teriyaki rice packs all looked like they had small punctures, and one had a definite tear , about 1/4 inch. I guess this recipe has some really sharp pointy ingredients that can puncture the bags when they vacuum seal it. The tortilla soup bags had some pokes. The yogurt bags were fine and the potato chicken pot pie bags were fine. My gluten free box has no meat in the recipes, so I guess I can just put the questionable bags in a vacuum seal bag for extra protection since they are supposed to be freeze dried. They should keep ok (I hope!), but not for 25 years. You cannot return the food!!! And I was not able to find a contact phone number or email for the company. If you have issues with your box, contact Amazon customer service directly so they can help you. Another thing about the instructions included for reconstituting the food. The multiple serving bags of meals say to use 6 cups of water for the whole bag (which is 6 servings), but for the yogurt, it only says to add 1 cup of water for whole bag of 8 servings?? I guess I'll only know when I try eating it... I don't know why the company doesn't read these reviews and respond to the repeated complaints of torn bags inside the buckets. They need to come up with a better way to keep these ingredients sealed to last for 25 years as they claim. I purchased in September 2024, and all the components of my box were labeled as April 2024.
