Product Overview
Food that needs no cooking is useful when power is out, travel is interrupted, or your usual supplies are out of reach. The Datrex 2400 Calorie Emergency Food Ration from Rothco puts 12 ready-to-eat coconut-flavored bars in a compact pack, giving you a reserve of food for an emergency kit, vehicle supplies, or a bug out bag.
Portioned Bars for Easy Planning
Each bar provides 200 calories, with 2,400 calories across the full pack. That individual portion size makes it straightforward to calculate how much food you are setting aside and keep track of what remains. You can eat a bar without preparing a meal, making these rations useful when cooking equipment is unavailable or stopping to cook is inconvenient.
For emergency planning, consider the pack's total calories alongside the number of people you are supplying and their food needs. The 12-bar count is a convenient way to divide portions, rather than a fixed number of meals or days of food.
A Food Reserve with a Five-Year Shelf Life
The stated shelf life is five years from the manufacturing date. Use that date when planning replacement—not the date you purchase the pack—so your stored food stays within its intended shelf-life window. The easy-to-carry packaging suits a home preparedness kit or a bag kept ready for an unexpected departure, and it can also serve as backup food on a road trip.
