The Important Role Of Shelf Stable Meals During Emergencies

By Ryan Adams


The need to store food for emergencies or any other kind of crisis is an important consideration across the world. It is prudent to have something prepared in case of an emergency, particularly in the areas where calamities are known to strike without warning. With the global warming and changing climatic condition, predicting storms, frost, ice conditions, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, hurricanes and other natural calamities have become more difficult than before. The wildfire and other man-made disasters also call for early preparedness. Shelf stable meals must be the priority whenever you think of preparing any kind of a disaster.

Most shelf stable goods require heating. Before heating it, always check if there are no attached plastics or styrofoams on the food. Plastics are dangerous and may cause grave diseases. Plastic contains polystyrene which is used to make clam shells.

The sea travelers and particularly the fishing crews know this very well. When the fishing boat loses the bearing or suffers any mechanical breakdown in the middle of the sea, your survival depends more on the parked food while waiting for rescue. The same goes for those who go for camping and the mountains climbing. In this case, should one lose his trail, it can take days or months before rescue eventually comes.

Checking the expiry date is very important. Some tins may have stayed on the shelves for long and are close to the date of expiry. As much as possible, try and buy food items that can stay for long before expiring. Consuming expired food is a major cause of food poisoning. Each brand also comes with unique storage requirements. In most cases, you need to store it in a cool and dry place. Some may need to be refrigerated, but all in all, read the instructions carefully to avoid early spoiling.

In most cases, they require no refrigeration and some brands require no preheating (cooking). These features make them particularly attractive for emergency situations. They can be available in different combinations like the 1, 2, 5, and even 5-meal combinations. They are also very popular for seminars and other formal events.

The general rule is to buy the newly placed cans as these tend to last for long before expiring. The cans that show problems can still be returned to the store as long as they have not been used,

Even though most of the ready snacks are designed to be heated in the microwave, not all require heating or refrigeration. Each of the brands has its own preparation instructions and the only way to get the best results is by following the manufacturer's instructions. In addition to this, it is important to choose a meal that has half of the content as non-starchy vegetables as this is healthier.

If there is still food inside the can, it is advisable to store the tin inside the fridge. Though nonperishable goods do not spoil easily, it must be put inside a cold storage if already opened. This then will eliminate the formation of dangerous bacteria which is the main reason of food poisoning and illnesses. Nonperishable goods are always a great help in times of need, but taking it too much will lead to certain diseases. These products do not perish easily because of certain preservatives. These preservatives make the food unhealthy to consume and thus leads to undesirable illnesses.
