Humanitarian daily rations (HDRs) are food rations manufactured in the United States intended to be supplied to civilians and other non-military personnel in humanitarian crises. Each is intended to serve as a single person's full daily food supply, and contain somewhat over 2,200 calories (9,200 kJ).
 
From the time they were created and used in 1993 until November 2001, HDRs were packaged with a bright yellow outer plastic covering; this choice of color, however, proved to be problematic in areas of the world where cluster bombs were being used, as the bombs were the exact same shade of yellow and recipients of the rations sometimes confused the ration package for undetonated cluster bombs, often spotting the bright color from a distance and making an incorrect assumption; this prompted the United States Federal Government to reissue the packages with a deep salmon pink outer covering to distinguish them from the bombs (this color has been used in the HDR manufacturing process ever since).

Cant Beat!

"Love the sales and prices on these, will be a returning customer for sure! Fast n free shipping is butter on the potato. They're not typical US military MREs, but they're a darn good budget option for the sensible emergency supply. The only downside. . . I keep wanting to buy more and more! If you want to know what the menu items are, there's tons of videos; I recommend steve1989MRE, very detailed of what you're purchasing, and hes a fun content creator."

For the price, five stars.

"At $15 a case these are a steal (MUCH better than the wretched SDRs). I tried one of mine from the two cases in ordered. The pasta in tomato sauce entree isn't bad. It's got a ton of lentils in it, too, for protein. Would I order it in a restaurant? No. But I didn't have to choke it down, either. It would definitely beat all hell out of starving. The fig bar is really good. It's actually two small bars and it tastes a lot like a Fig Newton, only maybe slightly sweeter. The short bread cookie is hard and crumbly but not bad at all. The crackers are just like MRE crackers, which is to say they're about as bland as a Full House script but they're pretty good with the included peanut butter, which was totally fine. My one disappointment with the meal was that the toaster pastries (actually real strawberry Pop Tarts, in a Pop Tarts bag inside the vacuum pouch) were stale and didn't taste real good. I discarded them. Even with the so-so Pop Tarts these are still a steal at $15 per case. I ordered two more cases after I sampled the one pouch."

Fast delivery!

"The boxes are clean, unopened and delivered quick. No complaints. Haven't tried the product yet, waiting for zombie apocalypse for that!"

I actually eat these pretty regularly

"The lentil stew is actually something I enjoy a lot. Good with a little dash of salt or red pepper flakes. . Great emergency/prepping food. Great camping food. Even trying to save money these days, I often eat one of the entrees at lunch or even as an easy ready to eat breakfast. They are easy to grab and go and offer a lot of pre-made convenient food at a very low price. The smoothies would double as a baby food or for elderly folks. I have given these HDRs or components to homeless people too. (Almost the original purpose of them)"

Outstanding value

"Cheaper than at the Commissary on base"

Great vegan / vegetarian MRE option

"All 5 HDR packets were vegan (no egg/dairy/meat) except for the “Banana Smoothie” which has dairy. All seem to come with crackers / jelly & peanut butter or sunflower butter. Lots of bean-based entrees / sides. Entrees are not the healthiest but they are a great option to have - especially at $1. 50 for a 2. 000cal HDR in bulk. A few of the smoothie packets had tiny leaks & got tossed out. Shipped super fast to IL. Would buy again."

Great calorie count. Wort the

"Great calorie count. Wort the money for that alone. Great seller."

Cody G. (5/5)

Great quality

"Got these to give to folks in need. Fantastic price point for having a few on hand for emergencies and giving them to folks that might need a hand. Tried one, and there is a lot of food. Not Michelin 5 star, and no meat, but it will keep a person fed. The side dishes are a little weak, but the mains, with a little smoked sausage make a passable meal."

Frank (5/5)

Haven’t tried yet

"Exercising blind faith here. I’ve purchased several of these cases to compliment my emergency stash. I would like to hope they are suited for the cause, but so far saving for a “rainy day”."

"Better than expected and super fast delievery"
