Expedition Foods says

Cheesy, creamy and out of this world… macaroni and cheese! One of the most popular comfort foods is over-the-top popular. Historians are unsure who exactly we have to thank for this decadent dish, but the earliest known recipe for mac and cheese was in 1769 in Elizabeth Raffald’s book "The Experienced English Housekeeper." Just add hot water, stir and wait five minutes. You may well eat this meal for breakfast and lunch too.

Preparation: Remove the oxygen absorber (Sachet) from inside the pouch. Add boiling water to internal fill line 4 (300ml), stir the contents and then close the bag and wait 5-8 minutes for the food to re-hydrate.

Cold water will suffice in an emergency, however the re-hydration time is much longer. The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic. DO NOT EAT

Expedition Foods meals have a long shelf life of up to 5 years.
