Does anybody know these rations?

Does anybody know what these rations are? I gues they are some civil rations? We've got these when visiting in one of the UN camps during our deployment in Tchad.

Is it my imagination or are those the rare UN/NATO humanitatiran rations that we saw here on the forums a while ago. I say that because they look familiar.

According to this page, it is the ration of the U.N. Forces dispatched to Iraq.

However, I heard that it is the ration of the Lebanon dispatch U.N. Forces.

About that ration, this forum has some pictures.

correct, but that's all i can tell you about it as well. Never was sable to find some details on 'm.
I got a case of 'm from ebay.de. years ago for a nice price.
I'could take some picks, but the case is in poor condition
with a bunch of duck tape used on it.

Those are UN rations.....OCCIDENTAL (for westeners because of the pork and other contents) and HALAL. :D
They are mostly made by the french goverment.That's why they look so similar to the RCIR's.... :wink:

That's the Central Purchasing and Service of the French Ministry of Defense.....those are the ones in charge of supplies for the French Army and their NATO counterparts.
