NOVEMBER 2022 UPDATE: OFD Foods has notified us that they have run their final contract production of Military LRP/MCWs and have released a limited military contract overrun inventory to their dealers.
Effective September 17, 2020, OFD Foods, the makers of Mountain House Freeze Dried Food, has notified us that they will no longer be producing the Military LRP/MCWs in brown military pouches:
Mountain House said: "The military has changed their specs and we are no longer making the MCW's. The new Pro-Pak is now the new military spec."
The new Mountain House Pro-Paks are made to the exacting standards of the U.S. Armed Forces for Long-Range Cold Weather Patrols. The Military Spec Pro-Paks are now being produced for the military in place of the former brown package MCW/LRP rations.
The Mountain House Military-Spec Pro-Paks have a guaranteed 30-year shelf life when stored unopened in a cool area below 75°F. Mountain House freeze dried foods are recommended for emergency food supplies because of their long storage/shelf life.
Clean Label Packaging
Mountain House products, including the new Military-Spec Pro-Paks, have transitioned to a cleaner label. Clean label products are marked with the following labels:
- No Artificial Colors
- No Artificial Flavors
- No Artificial Preservatives
All new "clean label" Mountain House pouches are recyclable through Terracycle. Please don't burn! Pack it out!
Mountain House products are available @ TheEpicenter.com
