Otherwise, they can be treated just like canned food – opened, emptied into a pan and heated anyway you choose, such as microwave, conventional stove or oven. Thanks, Long Life Food Depot **Q: What are the current production dates?** A: Hello Greg, We buy the pouches right from the manufacturer, and get the latest lots available. We usually have to buy several different lots of each item, to get enough to meet demand. Right now the Beef & Chicken Combo - 18 Pack contains 6 different items. I'll list the earliest lot for each item below, though each item probably has later dates too: Beef Strips - July 24, 2020 earliest production date Chili w/Beans - April 22, 2020 " " " Beef Stew - March 20, 2020 Southwest Beef - April 17, 2020 Chicken Noodles - May 1, 2020 Chicken Burrito Bowl - April 19, 2020 thanks, Long Life Food Depot **Q: Whats is the pull date?** A: The official shelf life of MREs is 7-10 years when stored at 70 deg. F (according to the Natick Research Labs MRE Shelf Life Chart). The manufacture date is shown in a Julian date code, which consists of 4 digits together. The first digit represents the year of the manufacture date. The next 3 digits represent the day of the 365 day year. So, for example, the 8056 digits represent the 56th day of 2008). You can find the Julian Calendar on-line, to interpret the date codes. **Q: Can you eat these cold or do they need to be heated up?** A: Hello Jon, They are fully cooked, so don't have to be heated. thanks, LLFD ## Frequently Bought Together - MRE Entrees (18-Pack) – Beef and Chicken Combo - (Chili Macaroni, Stew, Chili w/Beans, Meatballs with Marinara, Beef Goulash, Chicken Chunks, Chicken Burrito Bowl) Sourced from USA Govt Contractor - MRE Beef, Chicken & Pork Entrees Combo - 18 pack - A Pack FEMA MREs - Emergency Meal Kits with 12 Meals that are ready to eat, Long Shelf Life, Ideal for Survival, Camping, and Emergency Preparedness, Inspection Date 10/2024 or Better. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.in/products/213381682-mre-entrees-18-pack-beef-and-chicken-main-courses-only](https://www.desertcart.in/products/213381682-mre-entrees-18-pack-beef-and-chicken-main-courses-only) --- *Product available on Desertcart India* *Store origin: IN* *Last updated: 2026-09-30*
