Open it up. I believe that is the shelf stable bread that has been "new" for about 25 years now. (Not to be confused with the more or less execrable "wheat snack bread")
I saw the shelf stable bread one time on active duty. Supplied in the same brown packet that accessory packets once were, as we all queuing at a field mess. In fact that's what I thought it was at first. Field kitchens were kind of a hybrid thing at times. UHT boxed milk, a salad, entree, dessert, etc.

How do you know without opening it?
Ya, it's "different", but what I mean by that, it's bread. (Or at least more of a "generally recognized as bread -like substance (compared to "wheat snack bread" certainly!) LOL

I actually quite like the Wheat Snack Item, with PB & J...but they can't really call it bread simply based on its shape...
Re: New mre item ?
I wonder if its just the Sterling Foods version of this;

They did try to mold it into some sort of bread slice shape configuration. I don't think it fooled anyone. LOL. Snack bread just has this weird flavor, texture & gnarly aftertaste. Jeeze, just stick with saltines. The real bread component were reasonably edible as I recall, sort of reminded me of those cute little kiddie loaves sold at state fairs and such.
Re: New mre item ?
and pictures, the slices are thiner than the bread that comes in the norwegian rations that have been made in the US.
cheers kenNew item ?
Well - how does it taste? I can't help notice the lengthy ingredients list. It even includes "Wheat Snack Bread Premix".
I swear, all the new items are just the old ones re-packaged into new stuff. "SSDS" aka same $&@t, different sauce".

it did not taste like Wheat Snack Bread , i had peanut butter and jam on it and it was fluffy, moist and not chewy
