These MREs are designed so that the contents remain edible for months, or even years, if need be. MREs are typically used in areas of combat where constructing a kitchen facility is not possible, or practical due to time or safety constraints. Each [[drop pod]] stores a number of MREs for the landed [[Orbital Drop Shock Trooper|ODSTs]].<ref>'''Xbox 360 Magazine''', "Issue 35", ''pages 34-37''</ref>

The opinion on MREs was generally negative, with many individuals expressing distaste for the food carried in the packs. [[Franklin Mendez|Senior Chief Petty Officer Franklin Mendez]] believed that the MRE packs, while nutritionally dense, was one of the most foul-tasting substances known to man. Although, he claimed that MRE packs were still better in taste than special forces emergency bars.<ref>'''[[Halo: Glasslands]]''', ''page 71''</ref> However, the honey hazelnut-flavored protein bar was often considered desirable.<ref name="ch208">'''[[Halo: Contact Harvest]]''', ''page 208''</ref>

MREs have conventionally contained a number of food items, and there are usually dozens of different meals and variations so that not every MRE contains the same meal.<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level, ''[[The Package]]''</ref> This is so that soldiers may have a variety in their diets while in a hostile area. The contents of an MRE provided approximately three thousand calories, enough to keep a soldier properly nourished.<ref>'''Halo: Glasslands''', ''page 70''</ref>

Some of the materials that could be found in an MRE may include:
