...In Bridgfords own words, the
"Shelf-Stable Ready-To-Eat Sandwich Line was originally developed for the United States Military as combat feeding rations for the “Troops On-The-Go”. The military required a product that had a three-year shelf-life, and would taste as great on day 1,095 as it did on day 1. The sandwiches were originally tested with the United States Marines during an operation in Fallujah, and they scored exceptionally well, receiving one of the highest acceptance scores ever for a new product. Currently, the product is incorporated into the “First Strike Ration” which is provided to our military’s Special Operations Forces when they carry out missions in a “Hot Zone”. Shelf-Stable Ready-To-Eat Sandwiches that contain meat are produced under USDA inspection, and are also inspected by AMS, FDA, NCDA, VETCOM, and other agencies. All meat and poultry used in producing the sandwiches is USDA inspected. The sandwiches are heated to a minimum internal temperature of 190 degrees F, and are manufactured under the auspices of a HACCP program."
They offer many sandwich varieties, such as beef, chicken, pepperoni, and sausage, as well as sweeter snack and breakfast items like apple turnovers and french toast. The french toast was absolutely delicious by the way! All of their sandwiches can be eaten hot or cold so you don't need to worry if you have no means of cooking food. Throw some in your bug-out, camping, or fishing bag. Put one or two in the glove-box of your car in case you ever break down for extended periods of time or take a long road trip. Wherever you go Bridgfords products can go with you and make sure you never go hungry again. These little gems only weigh a few ounces each so they are nothing to carry. If at all possible I will be bringing a Bridgford sandwich with me on every one of my hikes from now on.
