  • I've reviewed Sopakco Reduced Meal Individuals before but these Emergency Ration Meals, supposedly packed for FEMA, are different from anything I've seen before. These MREs come 16 to a case and are roughly 800-900 calories per meal. The main meal is the same we've seen in low sodium rations before but these particular meals have a good bit more variety when it comes to the snacks and extras.
    Thanks for watching!

    i got a real life opportunity to eat these after hurricane ian came through, the national guard coming into town and handing out boxes of these along with bags of ice was a real blessing. those seasoning packets are awesome by the way.

      Same. Bag of ice, 2 boxes and a case of water. If you went to the church, they based it off how many people you had in the house.

    As a veteran my secret was a container that use to hold sprinkles that I emptied and put spices and powders in and a bottle of my favorite hot sauce. It made any main taste soooo much better.

    At 2 meals/day, that's more than a week's worth of food! I feel much better about the reduced sodium MREs. I also prefer my MRE crackers more in the browned/toasted side. I wonder if one type of crackers lasts longer than the other? Great review and thank you! I also have that hot sauce and even just put some on my scrambled eggs just prior to watching this video!

      There wasn’t lentils in this meal, just the mediocre cheese tortellini with a whopping 11g of protein, 2 jellies no peanut butter or cheese spread. You’re better off with lentils, HDR’s are more nutrient rich than the sobacko low sodium trash

    I don't know if your main is different than military MRE Menu 13 Cheese tortellini, but that meal I tried was absolutely delicious! It was the best tomato sauce out of all the MREs I have tried, and I enjoyed it very much. Perhaps because this is a low sodium variant, it tastes very different. The tomato sauce in my Menu 13 had Italian herbs and spices, clearly some prominent oregano. Although the ricotta cheese wasn't that great, the tomato sauce made it for it and beyond. I would eat a Menu 13 any day.

    Sopacko "reduced sodium" mains are all but inedible. I had two cases and ate a few, and then gave the rest away. Emergency food should be a morale booster. I would be absolutely dejected if I had to eat more than one or two of these during any type of emergency.

But like I said, food should be a not just a way to get the necessary nutrients, but a way to lift your spirits. These sopacko low sodium mains are soul crushingly bad.

      The rated shelf life and true shelf life are two different things. Even a Military MRE has a 3 year inspection date. This doesn't stop them for lasting 3 decades. It just all depends on storage.

    These are just a domestically branded version of the Humanitarian Daily Ration, which Fema would naturally be a large customer for.
    Also, stop calling other rations than MREs MREs. Maybe it's just me but it drives me up the wall.
