These Are Good
Reviewed By: Kelly (Small Town, MI)
We've never had these before, so I wasn't quite sure what to expect. These have a harder cookie like texture, and a slight hint of coconut flavor. Maybe like a slightly less flavorful cookie? We all liked these though (the kids went back for 2nds later in the day), and I also love that they come individually wrapped too. I put some of these in the front pocket of our BOBs. Great for hikes and all emergency situations.

Good Taste and Nutrition, Great Price
Reviewed By: Chris C (Denver, Colorado)
I was very pleased with the SOS Emergency Food Rations. The 1.60 lbs. package came with 9 individually wrapped bars. The texture/taste of the bars was that of a slightly sweet, condensed graham cracker, and was very satisfying and not thirst invoking. At 3600 kcal, the whole ration will last 1 adult 3 days at a sustenance level, and maybe half that if a lot of energy is being expended. As for the nutrition, each 84g bar contains 410 kcal, with 18g fat, 53g carbohydrates [31g sugars, 1g fiber], 8g protein, and has 6% daily value of Vitamin A, 15% Vitamin C, 2% Calcium, and 6% Iron. The primary ingredients listed are: sugar, enriched wheat flour, partially hydrogenated vegetable oil, wheat gluten, and corn starch. The bars I received were marked as manufactured 03/12 (the same month I placed the order, so Emergency Essentials is shipping out new bars, not ones that are half expired, like some other retailers) with a 5 year shelf life. Overall, I am very happy with these food bars, and I think they are great for keeping with bug out supplies, or for any other emergency plans that involve traveling or relocating. Price wise, I think they are an excellent alternative to MREs.

Revising my original review
Reviewed By: Sharon A (Port Orchard, WA)
Originally gave these food bars only two stars--not sure why but I didn't like the taste immediately upon opening the package. I found the graham cracker crust flavor developed though and I enjoyed these very much. I've just reordered this package for my emergency kit.
