Overview
Overview
Mayday 10-Year Vegan Emergency Food Bars offer a compact, long-term calorie reserve designed for shelters, evacuation kits, school emergency supplies, and agency deployments. Each 2,400-calorie bar is scored into six 400-calorie segments within a single pouch, allowing for visual portioning across multiple meals if opened.
The bar formula is vegan and high in 13 vitamins and minerals to support basic nutritional needs during disruptions. Unlike individually wrapped portions or resealable pouch formats, the bar should be consumed shortly after opening to maintain quality, as the packaging is not resealable.
With a manufacturer-stated 10-year shelf life, the Mayday vegan bar reduces rotation frequency and replacement costs compared to standard 5-year rations, particularly for organizations managing large inventories. The lemon flavor provides a lighter taste profile that many users find easier to consume across several meals.

FAQ
FAQ
Why are food bars used in emergency preparedness?
Emergency food bars provide compact, shelf-stable calories that can be stored for years without refrigeration. They are issued as baseline nutrition during the first 72 hours of a disruption when cooking fuel, water, and meal preparation may not be available.
Are these suitable for both adults and children?
Yes. The bar is scored into six 400-calorie segments, which allows the servings to be portioned for adults and children as needed during an emergency.
How many calories should I plan per person during an emergency?
A common planning approach is 2,000–2,400 calories per day for adults during short-term emergencies. One 2,400-calorie bar provides three days of baseline calories for one person, which is why these bars are widely used in 72-hour emergency kits.
Are larger bars one solid block?
This Mayday bar is molded as a single block that is scored into six 400-calorie segments. The segments are not individually wrapped, and the pouch is not resealable once opened.
How long do these bars last?
The manufacturer lists a 10-year shelf life when stored in proper temperature conditions. Longer shelf life reduces rotation frequency and replacement cost for organizations storing food at scale.
What is the best way to store the bars?
Store bars indoors away from direct sunlight and thermal extremes. Temperature swings accelerate degradation, so avoid attics, vehicles, or unconditioned outdoor sheds. A cool, stable storage environment delivers the longest shelf life.
Are any of the bars gluten-free, allergy-free, or vegan?
This Mayday bar is labeled vegan on the manufacturer sheet and uses a plant-based formula. However, it contains wheat and is not gluten-free. Other brands may offer nut-free or different dietary options depending on your requirements.
Why choose bars instead of MREs or freeze-dried meals?
Bars require no water or heating, take up minimal volume, and provide a predictable calorie count. Many agencies use bars as the baseline while supplementing with other foods when water and cooking fuel become available.
