MREs - how old is too old? Mr. Wizard experiments

Just a heads up...we're getting spoiled by the new MRE's. Got to spend 16 days of quality time with the new ones and we now have shit like chocolate pudding, the omelette is replaced with "Maple Sausage" and it's actually good. Make a makeshift McGriddle with it and the biscuit/syrup. Good stuff.

Chicken Tomato Feta...Buffalo Chicken...Chicken Pesto Pasta...Beef Brisket...there's a bunch of good new meals.

I know what I'm stocking up with.

a guideline to go by. but 6 years at a near constant 80+ sounds way too much. i wouldnt eat them unless it was a true emergency, and even then they could be bad. scavenge the good parts out of them if you want, throw out the bad parts, and buy new. see if you can store them in a cooler place.

it will be fine as long as it is sealed. The heater might not be effected.
