Good Afternoon All,
CS1 Noah Lemelin reached out to me last week and asked if it was possible to get MRE’s reinspected to extend their expiration so the unit didn’t have to spend thousands of dollars replacing them. After some digging, I found out that you can get them reinspected by the Army Veterinarian’s. This reinspection is good for 6 months (and can keep getting extended as long as the MRE’s pass inspection). The Food Protection Division of the Army provided the following information to be sent out to our members:
“You can have your personnel utilize the group email box: dha.apg.Pub-Health-A.mbx.food-protection@health.mil, along with the attached Excel spreadsheet to get MREs inspected/extended. Once we receive the information, we will coordinate inspection with the appropriate MRC.”
