Probably. Which brought to mind a scene from SG-1:
Jackson: This MRE tastes like tuna
Carter: That's a good thing, right?
Jackson: It's chicken soup.

I wonder if it was an MRE that either was spoiled or poisoned.

Bad tuna salad? Bad acid?

No hints as to nature of “substance”.

Hope they’re all going to recover. Two are critical.

Per the press release from Bliss- some soldiers ingested a substance outside authorized food supply.

Also of interest Bliss is cooperating with local le officials in investigation.

Back on Guadalcanal, the starving Marines ate the dead japs rice and didn't complain...

?I recall eating them, and finding most were just fine. A couple were good, a few specific items I considered inedible. I just traded. People just liked to complain.
