Trek'n'Eat Foods

Trek’n Eat meals have a shelf life of 5 years. Beef Jerkys have a shelf life of 18 months. Oxygen is removed from Trek’n Eat foods and replaced by nitrogen (79% of the air we breathe is nitrogen). This produces a so-called inert atmosphere. The purpose of packaging foods in a nitrogen atmosphere is to prevent oxidation of some of the ingredients contained in the foods. There is occasional feedback from customers who have consumed packs that are 5-15 years old without noticing a loss of qualit...

Moisture and oxygen will spoil foods and cause them to oxidize. Since the moisture content of freeze-dried and dehydrated foods is very low, the risk of spoilage by moisture is very low. But the oxygen in the pouch must be replaced. This is done by first evacuating the pouch and then filling it with pure nitrogen before it is sealed. Nitrogen accounts for about 79 % of the air we breathe and is entirely safe for foods.

Of course you find paper pouches that are fairly stable and can be recycled. But on expeditions and trekking tours, food package requirements are high or even extreme. The package must be gastight and airtight in order to protect the food by preventing the nitrogen atmosphere inside the pouch from being replaced by oxygen, moisture from entering, and the food from being exposed to sunlight. We are continuously searching for new materials that satisfy all these requirements.

This has been found to be the right quantity for a single meal on many expeditions and trekking tours. It covers the increased energy consumption during sports activities.

Freeze-dried foods are used around the world by expeditions, sailing voyages and outdoor activities. The most important advantages are: - Weight-savings - Simple preparation - Fuel-savings - Protective packaging - Long shelf-life - Great taste
