• SHORTBREAD BAR (2)• GRANOLA BAR (1)• CORN FLAKES CEREAL BAR (1)• CHOCOLATE CHIP DESSERT BAR (1)• WINTERGREEN TABLETS (1)• ICED TEA DRINK MIX (1)• INSTANT CHICKEN FLAVORED BROTH (1) This Box was packed mid 2013 and had a best by date of 2018, So sold as a collectible and not meant for consumption. ...The improved version of the Food Packet, Survival, General Purpose successfully survived a storage study of five years duration. The GP-I provides approximately 42% more calories than the original general-purpose survival ration with essentially the same weight and volume. The USA Air Force definition of the role for this product is that it is used to sustain personnel in any survival situation for periods of up to five consecutive days. The ration contains six compressed bars consisting of two cereal bars, three cookie bars, and one sucrose bar which are sealed in trilaminate pouches and packed in a water resistant, paperboard box. Lemon tea, sugar, and soup and gravy base are also included. Each packet provides 1447 kilocalories (5% protein, 39% fat, and 56% carbohydrate). It is designed to provide a maximum of 8% of the calories from protein in order to minimize metabolic water requirements. Only fourteen ounces of water are required to reconstitute the lemon tea, soup and gravy base. In user tests, the new Food Packet, Survival, General Purpose, Improved was well rated for variety and acceptability. It is superior to the old General Purpose Survival Packet. There are 24 packets per shipping container. The weight is .71 lb. per packet and 18.21 lb. per case. The volume is 0.014 cubic feet per packet and 0.520 cubic feet per case.
