I bought this primarily for long term food storage. I also don't have to worry about the expiration date for a LONG time for a quick and safe journey. In theory, food is always "ready". You can open the bucket and it won't change the longevity of the food as it's packed in separate Mylar bags (I'm guessing). Some sachets have 4 to 6 servings, so once you open the sachet you commit to eating everything within a certain time frame, but I think that's reasonable. All packages were intact upon my inspection and the bucket was in perfect condition when it arrived. I'll comment on the taste if I have to use some but given the other reviews on this compared to some other brands I feel good about ordering more no matter what.
