I have a can that is dented on one side, is that still OK? It is not punctured.

If it is dented, but not punctured, *I* would still eat it, but I would eat it soon rather than storing it for 20 years first. If properly stored, it is good for a long time. Denting the can probably doesn't count a "properly storage". Your mileage may vary, and I am not responsible if you get sick. Of course, if it comes out smelling or tasting weird, I would stop eating it.

what is the best temp/humidity for long term storage?

Store Mountain House food under dry, sanitary conditions, without prolonged exposure to extreme temperatures and avoiding any environment that could cause damage to the packaging, such as punctures, dents, or rust. To maximize shelf life, store food unopened and avoid prolonged exposure to temperatures above 75°F (24°C). Follow these storage tips and you'll have tasty food on your next backpacking trip, during an emergency, or anytime you want a quick meal without the long prep. After opening, we recommend using any dry contents within one week for best results and taste. After hydration, treat any leftover food as you would fresh food.

Can I buy the big 7-serving can but make it in individual servings?

Absolutely. You just take a single serving by weighing the amount you want to use. Then add the amount of water it requires for a single serving. As long as you keep the cover on the container, or better yet put it in a zip lock bag. The food will stay good for probably up to a year or more.

Why has the price doubled in the last year?

Did you not see all the warnings signs of 2020? 30 year shelf life!

Family's Favorite Freeze Dried Meal

Mountain House’s Classic Spaghetti with Beef Marinara is a staple in the world of freeze-dried food, and for good reason. Opening the #10 Can from Mountain House reveals a hearty mix of real ground beef, tender noodles, and a rich tomato sauce that rehydrates surprisingly well! Unlike some emergency rations that can taste overly processed or thin, this marinara has a savory, slightly sweet flavor profile that many compare to an upscale version of Chef Boyardee. The noodles are intentionally cut short, which makes them easier to scoop with a camp spork and ensures they cook evenly in about 10 minutes. From a preparation standpoint, the #10 can is an efficient choice for feeding a family or a small group, offering roughly seven to ten servings. It is incredibly versatile—you can prepare the entire can at once by adding about eight cups of boiling water, or scoop out individual servings as needed for a quick lunch. The 30-year shelf life and 30-Year Taste Guarantee provide massive peace of mind for long-term emergency storage. While the sodium content is high (around 600–760mg per serving), the convenience and reliable "home-cooked" taste make it a top-tier option for emergency preparedness and camping alike. This is the family favorite!

Fast Easy Meals!

So easy to have a quick meal just add boiling water and cover wait 8 minutes stir and serve. If you want to add more protein just put in some freeze dried sausage crumbles or freeze dried beef crumbles..that’s what I do for a more filling meal. Highly recommend.

Why not?

It's simple and acceptable. I wouldn't serve this to my in laws on an anniversary but my kids would like it. Now, admittedly I'm not a smart man but this is definitely serviceable and servable

My girl scouts loved the pasta! Sampled it before our backpacking trip and bought another can because they said they'd eat 2 servings and they did!
