I got knock offs. I received a case of mre’s in a sealed box and banded. the box was labeled “sure-pack” by sopakco
inc. no date on box,SO THE RED FLAGS STARTED FLYING.
so, I open the case and found the mre pouches were clear and there were no heaters either.
needless to say I was not surprised..

|NOT GENUINE – sold by Industry Supplier, not real MRE’s,
I ordered “MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat) Box B, Genuine U.S. Military Surplus, Menus 13-24”, which is a pretty specific description. The product I just received from seller “Industry Supplier” was definitely a case of 12 shelf-stable meals, but this is where the similarity ends:
Received a case of APack Ready-Meals, which includes 2 each of 6 different meals (total 12) – a far cry from the 12 different menu items in a real case of MREs. In addition to halving the variety, the menus themselves bear no relation to what comes in a genuine case “B” of surplus MREs.
Not only was the product wrong, APack ready meals are available right here on Amazon for much less than I paid. I was charged $78.90 for the case, and $22.50 for shipping, for a grand total of $101.40. If I had wanted APack meals, I would have ordered them here: Apack Ready Meals MRE (Meals Ready to Eat) Box of 12 Dinners
Those cost $60.13, with $17.31 shipping, for a grand total of $77.44
In fairness, Industry Supplier did respond promptly to my return request, and offered me a $15 refund if I elected to keep the case rather than returning it for a full refund. Unfortunately, if I were to accept the offer of a $15 refund, I will have paid $101.40 – $15 = $86.40. I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this: $86.40 – $77.44 = $8.96
So not only would I be getting something other than what I ordered, I’d be paying $9 over the market price I could have purchased it at. No thank you.
This is what the vendor Industry Supplier had to say on the subject:
“We replaced the MRE Kit because the there were many complains about the taste of the military MRE. The civilian kit has more calories, better taste and included a heater to warmup the food. Please let us know if you would like to keep the kit for a $15 refund. If not, we will send you a prepaid label for a full refund. Please let us know. Thanks.”
To me, this is a clear case of false advertising / “bait and switch”.

|Soldier Approved,
From the looks of the packaging, these MRE’s have been cycled out of usage by the US military. The bar code was missing as was the nylon banding around the box. The inspection date was 2013- normally when we get these out in the field the inspection date is 4-5 years out, not one. I had one MRE that had moldy wheat bread, but I didn’t have an issue with any other food out of the two boxes (A & B) I purchased. They make great meals for camping or road trips. Normally, they’re great for emergency preparedness but with the molding issue and the inspection date I can tell this product is already somewhat old, so I’d store them in a cool place and try to use them shortly after receiving them.
