Mountain House® Freeze Dried Canned Food Information



WHY STORE EMERGENCY FOOD? Keeping food on hand for emergencies protects you the same way as insurance on your home or car. With Mountain House® freeze-dried foods in your food reserve, you can be ready for just about any unexpected crisis. In today's turbulent times of uncertainty, ( i.e. Global crisis, world market collapse, stock market volatility, increased frequency of natural and man made disasters, etc. ) there has never been a better time to get a 'survival insurance policy' of long storing foods and preparedness supplies. In fact, the investment you make today may very well become the most important and valuable investment you will ever make for you and your family! Imagine, for instance, what a lifesaver these foods can be when your electric power is knocked out for several days by a storm. With Mountain House on hand and a one burner stove or candle to heat water ( cold water can be used in a pinch ), you can still enjoy a hot, satisfying meal in less than 10 minutes. Having a private food reserve makes a lot of sense. Good sense for both financial and security reasons.

COULD YOU SURVIVE A FOOD SHORTAGE EMERGENCY ? If food supplies were interrupted for any variety of reasons ( i.e. Network crash of grocery store computers or computerized delivery systems, distribution network, national or localized natural disaster, civil unrest riots, trucker strike, terrorist attack, virus outbreak, etc. ), existing store supplies would disappear within hours. No amount of money could put food on your table.... especially the kind you enjoy today. And how about those credit cards and ATM cards even if food was available. If the power is out or computer lines are down.... good luck, you'll be on your own. This need never happen to you or your family if you simply take a few precautions today to get better prepared and get the food reserves you need.

TASTE, CONVENIENCE, SECURITY Mountain House freeze dried foods are delicious, require no preparation, and will taste just as fresh years from now as they do today. Backpackers consistently rate us #1 year after year as the best tasting foods and ease of preparation. We are often asked why our foods taste is superior to that of our competition. The answer is fairly simple. You see, we actually start with fresh or frozen foods, then cook and prepare them, and finally freeze dry them ourselves. All the goodness, flavor and taste are locked in just if you had hand made them yourself from scratch. In comparison, all other backpacking food companies do not freeze dry or cook their own foods. They blend the dry components of other companies and package them. Mountain House foods taste as close to fresh or frozen foods as you can get. If you want to store the best.... look no further than..... Mountain House.

SIMPLE FOOD PREPARATION In today's fast pace of life, we use a variety of fast convenient foods. From fast food restaurants to microwavable foods, we want fast great tasting meals our whole family will love. This is where Mountain House leads the field. Our freeze dried foods are super easy to prepare - just add hot water... wait 10 minutes... and eat! Because no cooking is needed, these foods much less water and fuel than most fresh, frozen or dehydrated foods ( further conserving these two precious commodities ).

LONGEST SHELF-LIFE Mountain House® freeze dried foods are packed in airtight 10 size cans. The cans are nitrogen packed (air has been replaced by nitrogen). Each can is coated with a protective enamel, including the lid. This enamel helps protect the can from deteriorating elements. The contents of the can are protected for many years (we recommend a shelf-life of 15-20 years) as long as the can is not opened or punctured. (CAUTION: Once a can is opened, it should be capped with the plastic lid included and the remaining food treated as a fresh product by promptly using it.)

FREEZE DRYING PROCESS "Freeze-drying" is a unique process that provides product characteristics that cannot be achieved with other processing methods. Fresh or cooked foods are flash frozen and then placed in vacuum chambers that are as cold as -50 F. As low level heat is applied, the ice evaporates without going back through the liquid phase. This process called "sublimation", removes approximately 98% of the product's moisture, which prevents the food from spoiling. The ultimate for long term storage.

WHY IS FREEZE DRYING IMPORTANT? Freeze-drying provides very unique benefits and advantages over other food processing methods. Frozen foods maintain fresh flavor, but they must be kept frozen. Dehydrated and canned foods are shelf stable, but their high temperature processing reduces their flavor, texture, color and nutrients. Freeze drying combines the best of these processing methods--it locks in the freshness, color, texture and aroma of frozen food while providing the shelf stable convenience of dehydrated or canned food.

QUALITY CONTROL Oregon Freeze Dry, inc. has a firm policy to produce only high quality food products in the cleanest, most modern food processing plant. Our facilities are USDA and FDA approved and are continuously inspected. We use the highest quality meat, poultry, eggs, fruits and vegetables - NO SUBSTITUTES. Every batch of food we produce is tested and re-tested several times by random statistical sampling to insure a premium quality product every time. We don't stop there though. We continue quality control (qc) sampling until the foods are packed for shipment. Even then we're not finished. We pull off the random cases from each run for further QC inspection. Afterwards our QC department holds each completed canning run until the testing is completed. Only then are our foods ready to leave the facilities. Does all this make a difference? You bet it does. For over 30 years our reputation for producing the finest freeze-dried foods is surpassed. We invite your close inspection. Try some of our premium quality foods for yourself. We believe that you, like thousands of other food storage buyers, will agree that Mountain House offers the best tasting and finest quality foods for long term storage today.
