1. Per reftel, following is information on three companies 
in New Zealand that supply ration packs or "retort meals." 
The packs are similar to MREs, but do not include a heating 
source.  The pouched meals can be eaten cold, but normally 
would be heated in boiling water or opened and heated over a 
flame.  All three companies supply the packs to the New 
Zealand and Australian defense forces.  The first two 
companies have stocks on hand; the third company does not 
but is capable of filling large orders. 
 
Serco Project Engineering Ltd.

C) NZ $25 (US $17.35) per 24-hour ration pack, enough for 
one day for a military member involved in heavy activity; 
otherwise, it could feed an adult for three days. 
 
D) The packs are available in four different menus, 
including beef and vegetable stew and chicken curry; beef 
satay and lamb and mint gravy; chili beef with rice and 
chicken pasta and vegetables; and, chicken teriyaki and 
mushroom risotto.  The packs also include high-energy snacks 
such as fruit muesli bars and cookies; chocolate bars; tea 
and coffee; chocolate drink; soup and crackers; and, muesli 
cereal. 
 
E) If the packs were shipped via air freight, the estimated 
time for delivery to the U.S. would be 24 to 36 hours. 
 
F) Ten meal packs are packaged in a carton.  Each carton 
weighs 15 kilograms (33 pounds) and is roughly 600mm by 
400mm by 250mm (23.6 by 16 by 10 inches). 
 
G) The company could immediately provide 30,000 to 40,000 of

noodles; fruit muesli bars; sultanas; chocolate bar, 
sweetened condensed milk; sugar; chocolate drink powder; 
instant coffee; tea bag; and, a sports drink. 
 
E) If the packs were shipped via air freight, the estimated 
time for delivery to the U.S. would be 24 to 36 hours.

carton weighs 14.75 kilograms (32.5 pounds) and is 560mm
