Hi guys,

today I want to show the newest "part" of my collection , a opened case of EGG MIX, DEHYDRATED, DoP 1991.

The already opened case "EGG MIX, DEHYDRATED" packed by FISHER FOODS LTD. in good condition








Cardboard made by NEBRASKA PACKAGING, INC. January 1991


Printing on the case, no DoP is stated


Interesting: UNITIZED "B" RATIONS DESERT SHIELD , I guess such a "mission" printing is something particular on a ration case, never seen that before


Also interesting printing on the side of the box: Delivery information . What means "JF1" and "SWE 300" in that context?


The empty case


The case with two original cans in perfect condition


Close-up of the EGG MIX DEHYDRATED cans


Close-up with instructions for preparing the contents


Date code , can not "translate" that

Mmmmm, powdered eggs...

Great pic´s and the cans are in better condition than new!!
"Some day" I´d like to make some of those powder egg´s, just to give them a try.

Great pics! Very interesting that they placed Operation Desert Shield on the package. Now you just have to open one can and give it a try.

I have eaten the UGR version of that egg mix before, it comes in the plastic bag, and 9 times out of 10 when the cooks make it they add too much water... so you end up with a sort of egg soup at the bottom of the mermite container.

True. When using powdered eggs you have to be careful of the ammount of water used. some cooks usse some regular eggs if the have them to enhance the flavor a bit.

Nice find

Any plans to eat one?

Should be fine, i ate from dried eggs from 1980 during sandy

Yes, I have the same opinion, I have never seen some akin printing on a another US ration box…

EGGS, is there no danger to eat them , even if dehydrated? I´m not sure…

With no water and no oxygen not even germs can survive

The numbers stamped on the can definitely aren't a date. They're identifying the plant and inspector. Plant 1513 and inspector 21 as it says on the outside of the box Unless there's a 513th day of the year I'm not aware of!

Great explanation of the unsolved date coding mysterium
