Packaging

We seal everything in FDA & USDA compliant Mylar bags.  Our bags are heavy duty 7 mil bags with no viewing window or plastic fronts.  Viewing windows allow light and eventually air into your product so they don't stay fresh as long.  You can add boiling water to our bags with no problems.  We include an oxygen absorber which will keep your food fresh and ready to use for years.  Once the Mylar bag is opened though, be sure to seal it tightly if there are still remaining items in the bag (strong zip lock enclosures are included in each bag.)  We include an oxygen absorber which will keep your food fresh and ready to use for years.  Once the Mylar bag is opened though, be sure to seal it tightly if there are still remaining items in the bag.  Unopened, food items in the Mylar bag are safe for 25-30 years but once opened and exposed to air, the time drops to just a few months.

Please note: We will package the product well for shipping, but due to the freeze drying process which makes the product brittle, there could be some cracking and separating.
