    Candy from a Meal Ready to Eat is taste tested during an inspection at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. According to 386th Expeditionary Medical Group public health officials, MREs expire about three years after their pack date. However, by inspecting them at that three-year point, their shelf life can be extended. Inspections include observing the contents of the MRE, and tasting and smelling all of the components. MREs that pass the inspection are deemed safe to eat and are inspected again in six month increments for up to two years past the three-year expiration date. Inspected MREs that fail to meet the criteria are destroyed. (U.S. Air Force photo by Master Sgt. Marelise Wood)
