Peace Hope Tomorrow
Mountain House, a division of Oregon Freeze Dry, Inc, has been a backpacking favorite
since the 1960's. The Mountain House product line consists of over 58 selections,
including single-serve, double-serve and four-serve entrée's. The most popular sellers
are our double-serve entrée's, which includes over 25 flavors to choose from.
Our Product line also includes great tasting breakfasts, vegetables, and desserts.
What is the difference between the 16oz., 20oz. and 40oz. entrees?
The 16oz. entree is considered a Single-Serve entree and makes 2 cups of food by
volume. The 20oz. entree is considered a Double-Serve entree and makes
approximately 2 1/2 cups of food by volume. However many people eat this as a single
serve item, depending on the necessary caloric intake. The 40oz. entree is considered
a Four-Serve entree and makes approximately 5 cups of food by volume. This larger
size pouch has two inner preparation pouches inside and can be evenly split between
two people.
What is the shelf life of Mountain House products?
Pouches - Based on storage studies conducted over many years, our shelf life is at
least 5 years from the date of manufacture if stored properly. For best results, we
recommend the pouches be stored unopened in a cool dry area.
#10 Cans - Our products packed in #10 cans offer a 30+ year shelf life. We have
personally tasted product that is 35 years old and it still tastes great! After opening, we
recommend using the contents within 2 to 3 weeks for best results and taste. Use the
convenient resealable plastic lid between uses. Treat any leftover food as you would
fresh food. For more information about our shelf life, please click on product shelf life.
What happens after the shelf life has expired?
Pouches - We guarantee a 5 year shelf life (under recommended storage conditions)
for quality of taste and appearance. After 5 years, as long as the pouch has not been
punctured or opened, you might notice a slight difference in taste and appearance.

How can I read the manufacture date on your products?
The product manufacturing code appears on the back of Mountain House pouches
(along the nutritional panel) and on the bottom of Mountain House cans. The date in the
code represents the date on which the product was packaged. For pouches starting
January of 2001 we are now printing BEST IF USED BY dates on the back of each
pouch. 1989 and after:
EXAMPLE: 99028 CIA 99 = Year
028 = Julian Date (example = 28th day of the year = January 28)
