U.S. MILITARY ISSUE COOKED-BEEF PATTY PIECES FREEZE DRIED W/CORN MEAL ADDED

This is a large, cylindrical can containing freeze-dried cooked beef patty pieces, designed for long-term food storage. The product is intended to be rehydrated with hot water before consumption, making it a convenient protein source for emergency preparedness, camping, or backpacking. The label indicates it's U.S. Inspected and Passed by the Department of Agriculture, ensuring quality and safety. Interesting Facts Freeze-dried foods like these are highly valued for their extended shelf life, often lasting 25 years or more when stored properly, making them ideal for long-term emergency provisions. The freeze-drying process removes about 98% of the water content, making the product lightweight and compact while retaining most of its nutritional value and original flavor. The inclusion of 'Corn Meal' and 'Dehydrated Onion Powder' suggests a blend designed for enhanced flavor and texture once rehydrated, moving beyond just plain beef. The 'U.S. Inspected' seal with 'EST. 1471' provides assurance of quality and safety standards, which is particularly important for stored food items.
