Dear Valued Customers:
As you know we have removed #10 cans from our website temporarily. The reason for this is sales of #10 cans have continued to increase. OFD is allocating as much production capacity as possible to this market segment, but we must maintain capacity for our other market segments as well.

Currently we are able to meet demand for Mountain House pouches and most of these products are still available for purchase on our website. We do have a small number of dealers that we will continue to make and ship #10 cans to and you will need to contact them directly to place an order. For a list of dealers, please contact us at MH-Info@ofd.com

We want to clarify inaccurate information that is being said on the internet, news and radio. This situation is not due to sales to the government domestically or internationally. We do sell products to this market, but we also sell other market segments, including Ingredient and Private Brand markets. The reason for this decision is solely due to an unexpected sales spike in #10 cans sales.

We expect this situation to be necessary for several months although this isn’t a guarantee. We will update this information as soon as we know more. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your patience. We sincerely hope you will continue to be Mountain House customers in the future.

“$1 Billion order of dehydrated food in the event of attacks on domestic targets in the US.”

Wow.....I didn’t expect the unions would cause THAT much trouble.

I happened to be reading this while wearing my tin foil hat.

What if the purpose of this HUGE increase in stockpiling by fema is not about them getting ready for an emergency ?

What if it’s about eliminating OUR ability to prepare for an emergency ?

“$1 Billion order of dehydrated food”

Probably more to do with government largesse to union workers than preparedness for a national emergency. This administration is totally corrupt and will stop at nothing to secure political donations and buy votes.

The trash administering our public affairs smells a coming revolt against their stupid management.

This article is a bit misleading. FEMA does stock MRE’s in limited quantities but they don’t have millions of them sitting around in warehouses (FEMA closed several of their storage depots a few years ago). FEMA’s basic policy with supplies is to have contracts in place to deliver when needed not before. This sounds like an RFP for a worst case scenario not an actual order that needs to be filled. If you read the comments section you will see a post by a food service person who basically debunks the inference of the article. Another non-fact in the article is that FEMA raised alert levels. FEMA has nothing to do with alert levels, they are set by Homeland Security of which FEMA is one part.
