It seems to me that it was about a year or 2 ago that one guy went to and old camp site he had been to as a boy in the mid-1950's, and when digging a garbage hole found his old garbage from nearly 50 years before, including a normal, apparently undamaged hot dog.

I see the Army hasn't changed any. High tech shite is still shite.
Thank God I'm a Navy man. Lord knows, the food on the ship wasn't good, but at least it wasn't pepperoni and humectant. Yuk...

which they added substances called humectants, which stop water leaking out. The humectants not only prevent water from the fillings soaking into the bread, but also limit the amount of moisture available for bacterial growth. Sounds like a 'Depends' diaper.
The sandwiches are then sealed, without pasteurisation, in laminated plastic pouches that also include sachets of oxygen-scavenging chemicals. A lack of oxygen helps prevent the growth of yeast, mould and bacteria
Seriously, isn't that asking for an anaerobic bacteria aka. Botulism?

Will they issue the laxative in the same packet or separately?

The Navy's had an indestructible sandwich for years: "Horsec**k and cheese," a.k.a. bologna with a slice of American!

Back in 1983, MRE's were just being introduced. We had a 5 day op at Camp LeJeune. We had C-Rats part of the time and MRE's part of the time. The last night the colonel came by and gave a short talk about our upcoming deployment to Okinawa. Afer the colonel left, the company gunnery sergeant stood up said he had enough C-rats to issue every Marine two meals.
They cheered! Bottom definitely looks like up when you have to cheer C-rats.
