Every case of My Own Meal® kosher certified rations and meal kits has two codes printed on the side of the Master Case.
- The first code is the date assembled and reads as: “PACK DATE: DAY MONTH YEAR”.
- The second code is the Best By date. It is coded as “BEST BY MONTH YEAR”. This month and year is the date by which we recommend consuming the ration. While some of the components inside the master case may have a later Best By date printed on its packaging, including the My Own Meal® main course meals, we use the earliest Best By date for any one of the components inside that case to establish the “Best By” date for the entire assembled ration.
We maintain our inventory to assure our state of readiness to meet surges in unexpected demand and/or emergencies. We recommend that you inquire as to the current “Best By” date of the inventory at the time of your order if remaining shelf life is important to your purchase decision. We ship on a FIFO basis.
