25+ Year Shelf Life! You'll be ready for anything with a food supply that will last and be there when you need it most. Our 12-grain bread is freeze dried, so it can be stored long term and without needing refrigeration (lasts longer than dehydrated and traditional canned food!). Perfect for emergencies, you can eat it right out of the can or rehydrate by wetting each slice in water. About 12 slices per can. Every can is sealed in an oxygen/moisture free environment. Store in a cool, dry place. Packaged in #10 size can (gallon can). Manufactured, procured and packaged in USA. Helpful Hint: Store a can opener with your bread, so you have it when you need it. Ingredients: Whole Wheat Flour, Water, Sugar, Wheat Gluten, Sunflower Seed, Cracked Wheat, Rye, Cellulose Fiber, Oats, Soybean Oil, Yeast, Ground Corn, Salt, Molasses, Buckwheat, Brown Rice, Preservatives (Calcium Propionate, Sorbic Acid), Monoglycerides, Triticale, Calcium Sulfate, Barley, Flaxseed, Millet, Datem, Grain Vinegar, Soy Lecithin, Nuts (Walnuts, Hazelnuts, Filberts, Almonds), Monocalcium Phosphate. Directions: To rehydrate the bread, just wet a slice in cold or lukewarm water, pat it dry with a towel, and let it sit for 30 minutes in a sealed container (zipper locking bags work great). Once opened, they will last: Up to 1 year in a zipper locking bag with refrigeration once opened, but not rehydrated. Up to 60 days in a zipper locking bag without refrigeration once opened, but not rehydrated. Up to 5 days in the refrigerator once they're rehydrated. When will your freeze-dried food expire? The manufacturer guarantees the minimum shelf life of 25 years from when the food was made. To find the manufactured date, look at the label on the can. There should be a code similar to this one below:8034 b2 19 All you need to look at is the first set of numbers (8034) - that is the date code in Julian format. So in the example above, it was made on the 34th day of 2018, which is February 3
