## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Happy camper
*by M***E on August 9, 2025*

Fast delivery and arrived in good condition! I would purchase from this seller again.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good Tasting Side Dishes
*by L***A on August 16, 2020*

UPDATE March 2021 - In the latest package of 8 sides that I ordered in early 2021, all pouches had packing or production dates. Two sides were in early 2020 and the other two were in late 2020. So, the ones shipping now should last a while for emergency use. The original packages I bought had Santa Fe rice as a side. However, in this most recent order, the berry cobbler has replaced the rice. So, you now get more sweet fruit.ORIGINAL- I have tried 2 of the 4 side dishes that come in the combo pack (2 of each for 8 total) The apples were firm and sweet with a hint of spice. but not overpowering. The potatoes au gratin were well done, but not too soft. The cheese flavoring was good. I would like to see more or different side dishes, but the vendor says these are the most popular. The sides come from the Wornick Company, a supplier for military MREs. There were no manufacturing or packing dates on the packages, but the description on the Amazon page gave dates of 2017 and 2018 for the various items. So, they should be good for a few more years. I would order more, but they are out of stock as of August 2020.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outer Package open upon arrival - not sealed
*by S***Y on September 24, 2022*

When I received the item, the bottom of the MRE bag was cut open and the items put inside. Not sure where OR why this was done. Can't store it like a MRE full package as it's not fully sealed. Tried to return, but was immediately told, this item is NOT eligible for return. The item was way under 30 days. FYI. Flavor was good.
