25+ Year Shelf Life!
You'll be ready for anything with a food supply that will last and be there when you need it most. Our sharp cheddar cheese is freeze dried, so it can be stored long term and without needing refrigeration (lasts longer than dehydrated and traditional canned food!). Perfect for emergencies, eat right out of the can or soak in water for 10 minutes, then enjoy.
Helpful Hint: Store a can opener with your cheese, so you have it when you need it.
Directions: Add cheese right into recipes with no added water. Can be eaten out of the can as a snack with no rehydration needed. To re-hydrate cover 1-1/2 tbs. of shredded cheese with 1/8 cup warm water. Let stand 10 minutes and drain off excess liquid. Yield: 1-1/2 tbs. (1 oz) cheese.
When will your freeze-dried food expire?
The manufacturer guarantees the minimum shelf life of 25 years from when the food was made. To find the production date, look at the label on the can. The production date code on the can could be something like this:
1288 b6 46
The 1288 is the actual date code in Julian format (the 288th day of 2021, which was October 15th, 2021). For example, 0201 would mean 201st day of 2020, 9012 would mean 12th day of 2019; 8067 would mean 67th day of 2018, etc. 25 years from this date gives you the minimum of how long it will last.
Note: Since it is a long-term storage, the shelf life will depend on the conditions under which you store the food.
