Eversafe Therma Pouch
Eversafe Therma Pouch
I just found about 50 cases of these with an ex date of 9/08 and I believe that they were disposed of by a gov agency and were probably stored in an ac office building. I opened one pack and found that the nuts and cranberry packs taste good, but did not try the bowl of food. My question is simple. Are these safe to comsume this far after the x date, and how much longer should the be good for if they are still good. I have heard all kinds of reports that say that they are good for much longer than the x date. Just do not know and looking for answers.

Personally, I think those bowl meals might be good for another year or two...possibly longer but we just don't have the same experience with those bowl-packaged meals as we do with the pouched meals.
To be on the extremely conservation side, I would recommend NOT relying on those for emergency situations. You really don't want to get into a situation where your survival depends on questionable food.
However, if you want to be on the "just slightly conservative" side, then I'd recommend trying one of the bowl meals now and if it's still good, hang onto the cases. Then maybe every 6-12 months, try another one to make sure they're still good.
Just keep in mind that if the food ever looks or smells bad or even just slightly "off" or if the packaging is torn or swollen, you should just throw the meal away.
