I have been buying the Mountain House freeze dried food bags from my local Wal Mart. Well they stopped carrying them in favor of those smaller Coleman bags.
Now my question is this:
The "Best if used by" date on the Mountain House is 7 years from now, but the Coleman is only 2 years. Now I figured they are the same freeze dried kind of food, but their dates would suggest otherwise as I thought this kind of stuff was good for several years minimum if kept in a cool dry place. Can anyone enlighten me as to why there would be such a drastic difference in shelf life?
Thx...
