BranchOut Food completes shelf-life tests with U.S. Army

BranchOut Food has completed a shelf-life test through a strategic collaboration with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command to enhance Meals Ready-to-Eat or MREs utilizing BranchOut Food’s proprietary GentleDry technology. The six-month shelf-life test and sensory panels reported exceptional scores for all products. Passing this test is a prerequisite for inclusion in an Initial Operational Test and Evaluation. Items of interest will be included in the next Initial Operational Test and Evaluation with soldiers in training carrying and consuming the products. Items receiving acceptable scores will move forward for inclusion in the U.S. Army rations program. BranchOut’s patented GentleDry technology preserves up to 95 percent of the original nutrition of fresh produce.
