Mountain House Announces Taste Guarantee + 30-Year Shelf Life
7/26/16 UPDATE: 30+ Year Shelf Life Announcement
OFD Foods LLC (formerly Oregon Freeze Dry), the makers of Mountain House has announced a 30+ Year Shelf Life and Taste Guarantee for their #10 Cans, Pouches, and Food Kits, RETROACTIVE to all* products made since 1986! (*except ice creams and cheesecake products)
In 2014, Mountain House made an announcement that they offer a taste guarantee of food they offer!
Jim Merryman, the President of Mountain House’s parent company OFD Foods, Inc. says, “We want consumers to be confident that our food will taste as good at the end of our Taste Guarantee as the day it was made, and that it will be there to feed and comfort them in their times of need.” Merryman also stated that Mountain House food will still be tasty and nutritious for years, even decades, beyond the Taste Guarantee if stored properly.
OFD's Research and Development Manager, Drew Heubsch says, “We regularly test Mountain House products stored in real world conditions against our new production, and update our shelf life and Taste Guarantee accordingly," and Norm Jager, Research Advisor at OFD Foods adds, “Temperatures were regularly as high as 80 degrees and occasionally exceeded 100 degrees during summer months. While Mountain House recommends storing its food below 75 degrees, it is reassuring for consumers to know that their Mountain House meals will be delicious, even given a wide range of storage conditions. It’s an investment that will hold its value for decades to come.”
