The Mayday 10-Year Vegan 2400 Calorie Food Bar (SKU 73562) doubles the lifespan of traditional emergency rations, cutting your replacement costs and rotation logistics in half over a decade. For institutional preparedness programs, remote cabins, or government stockpiles where checking expiration dates is infrequent, this extended shelf life eliminates the "hidden cost" of constant inventory rotation. You can truly "set and forget" these rations for up to 10 years when stored between 55°F and 86°F, making them ideal for long-term disaster caches that won't require attention until 2035.

This is the only ration bar in Mayday's entire product line specifically formulated to be 100% vegan, making it the go-to choice for schools, workplaces, and emergency response teams serving diverse dietary populations. Unlike standard emergency bars containing dairy or animal-derived ingredients, the vegan formula ensures compliance with plant-based diets, religious dietary restrictions, and allergen-sensitive individuals. The lemon flavor formulation avoids animal products while maintaining the 2,400-calorie density needed for survival scenarios, ensuring no one is left without appropriate emergency nutrition during a crisis.

The Mayday 10-Year bar features a distinct lemon flavor (rather than the standard apple cinnamon found in most emergency rations) specifically engineered to be non-thirst provoking. In survival situations where water is scarce or rationed, sweet or cinnamon-heavy flavors can trigger increased thirst and dry mouth. The refreshing lemon profile is designed to be palatable without creating additional water demand, helping conserve precious hydration supplies. Each 1.2lb bar is scored into six 400-calorie segments, allowing you to ration food intake every 4-6 hours without wasting water on excessive thirst.

Each Mayday 10-Year bar is pre-scored into six individual 400-calorie segments, making it easy to ration without tools or breaking the entire bar. The case of 24 bars provides 57,600 total calories—enough to sustain 24 people for 2 days each, or 12 people for 4 days. The individually wrapped bars allow for clean distribution in emergency shelters, evacuation centers, or bug-out scenarios without cross-contamination. Simply snap off one 400-calorie segment per person every 4-6 hours, and reseal the wrapper (if applicable) to preserve remaining portions for later use.

At approximately 31 pounds per case, the Mayday 10-Year Vegan Food Bar case (24 bars) is designed for stackable, space-efficient storage in institutional settings like schools, government buildings, or corporate emergency supply rooms. Unlike bulkier freeze-dried meal kits requiring shelving, these compact cases can be stacked on pallets or stored in closets without special racking. The Made in USA manufacturing ensures consistent quality control, and the 10-year shelf life means you can purchase in bulk during budget cycles without worrying about near-term expiration. For remote caches or hunting cabins, one case provides substantial caloric reserves without requiring frequent trips to rotate stock.
