Military food package MRE, WZ, Arpol, Set 3

MRE, ARPOL WZ

A military food ration, MRE , a combat food ration (BDP). There are various names for a similar product – a pack of long-life foods that are easy to prepare.

This pack is produced by the Polish company ARPOL and, among others, is supplied to the Polish army. Compared to the Czech BDP, the ARPOL WZ MRE food pack clearly has a better taste of the main dishes, which are not as heavily salted.

Just like US MREs, this field ration includes a flameless heater. When compared with the American Meal Ready to Eat, the main advantage of the ARPOL WZ food pack is the strict health and safety control of the product. The packs are fresh, with a sufficiently long shelf life, while US MREs usually come with an unknown expiration date.
