Overview
SOS 1200 calorie emergency food bars provide a compact daily ration designed for short duration incidents where space and weight matter. Each bar consists of three individually wrapped 400 calorie portions, allowing clean distribution and controlled rationing, which is an important advantage over solid block bars. Vacuum sealed for a 5 year shelf life, they require no water, heating, or preparation. Ideal for classroom kits, CERT deployment, go bags, and personal emergency kits where calories must be guaranteed in any condition.

FAQ
FAQ
Why choose this option instead of other calorie sizes
The 1200 calorie bar is used when the goal is one day of emergency calories per person, or when other food sources are available. It is also used in kits where budget, space, or weight require a smaller ration item.
How many do I need per person
One 1200 calorie bar supports one person for one day at minimum ration levels. For a 72 hour supply, most plans would use two bars per person plus other food sources.
How do agencies use these in short duration events or kits
Schools and workplaces often include one 1200 calorie bar in a personal kit for evacuations, field trips, shelter-in-place events of less than a full day, or as a supplemental calorie source alongside snacks or other meals.
How to feed to young children
A portion can be broken into smaller pieces and softened with water if needed. Individually wrapped portions make it easy to provide only what is appropriate for the child.
How do individually wrapped portions help in shelters or classrooms
Each 400 calorie portion is sealed which allows controlled distribution, reduces waste, and avoids handling open food if only a portion is needed.
This 1200 calorie emergency food bar is often used when planners want one day of calories in a compact item or when other food sources will be available. Three sealed 400 calorie portions make it easy to issue smaller servings in classrooms, offices, and vehicles. It fits well in personal kits and evacuation bags where space and weight are limited, yet still provides a dependable baseline of calories during a disruption.
