I haven’t seen the ready store, thank you for mentioning it.
One thing I do need to say, is beware of Emergency Essentials. I spent a lot of money with them, getting wheat pails of stuff, cans of stuff, all this was way back when they had much better customer service. Now it seems like they have gone terribly commercial.
But anyway, I opened a super pail of wheat berries that was probably around 9 years old. It should have been perfectly good since the shelf life is 30. It was Rancid! I could smell it as soon as I opened it up. I tried all sorts of things to mitigate the spell, letting it air out, grinding it into flour and letting that air out, nothing. It was definitely Rancid. It wasn’t just from being stored
I contacted Emergency Essentials and they were less than helpful. I told them now I have numerous other super pails that are in question. They wanted me to send them a sample, which I did at my own expense. I heard nothing back nor did they reimburse me. All I got was a 10% off coupon. Whoop-dee-doo! After selling me bad Goods, now they want to make more money off of me?
I will never buy another thing from them. Their customer service is now horrible. As apparently are their products. When we buy something for long-term storage, we expect it to be good at the end. I’m just glad I found out now, before I have to rely on bad food products.
Thanks for the info. I am not familiar with them, just the name, but you are right about being cautious. Also I spray my #10 cans when they arrive with Krylon as extra protection. Also inspect the cans carefully when they arrive. I did send one case back for replacement... long story. Gotta run, later. IR
