| American Outdoor Products, Inc. Backpacker's Pantry and Campfood Backpacker's Pantry is a family owned and operated business dedicated to exploring and preserving our natural environment. We feel strongly that the outdoor experience is a vital part of life to be respected and cherished. As a result, a portion of every sale is given to organizations dedicated to preserving our planet for future generations. As outdoor enthusiasts participating in an array of activities we at Backpacker's Pantry understand the need to pack light and eat well. We are dedicated to creating dishes that satisfy not only your palate but your nutritional needs as well. Preparing our products using both the freeze drying and dehydration methods not only reduces the weight and prolongs shelf life, but also locks in all of the nutrients needed to keep an active body fueled and ready for the next adventure. In addition, we go the extra distance to ensure your safety by subjecting all of our meat products to a daily inspection process performed by a USDA inspector.We want our customers to enjoy our creations at their peak freshness. Although shelf life varies, most items will stay fresh for about two years; items including nuts, seeds, or dairy last slightly less time. If you are not planning to use our products right away, we recommend storing them below room temperature. We do not recommend our food for long-term storage. Colorado Spice We have been providing the finest restaurants, food manufacturers, and retail markets with high quality herbs and custom blends since 1988. Colorado spice is one of the most respected spice companies in the nation! All of our blends are authentic to the cuisine from which they are developed. They are unadulterated and pure as defined by the Pure Food and Drug Act. Our products have no dyes, no artificial colors, and no MSG. We substitute brown sugar, honey powder and fructose in place of refined sucrose; we do not use silica as an anti-caking agent; and we use lower salt formulations in our blends. Most of our products are Kosher certified. While most companies use salt, sugar and MSG as the basis of their blended formulations, at Colorado Spice we use herbs and spices! The Colorado Spice single-use retail bags offer a great way to prepare exquisite gourmet meals at home. Each of our fifty blends include a protein specific recipe straight from our chef to your kitchen.Astronaut FoodsYour best source of out-of-this world specialty food products. Freeze dried Astronaut Ice Cream slices are real ice cream – all the proof you’ll need is in the tasting. The freeze drying technique removes 98% of the original water content, giving the ice cream a 3-year shelf life, but once the package is opened the shelf life diminishes quickly due to absorption of moisture in the air. The ice cream is available in Neapolitan, Chocolate-Chocolate Chip, Mint Chocolate Chip, and of course a Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwich. Don’t forget about our Alien Ice Cream – a far out little snack from our little green friends. Our History of Food in Space book is a great way to include education with our exciting novelty treats. Along with the ice cream we feature our Fruit & Nut Mix, which was originally developed for NASA’s Apollo Missions. As well, we have a full line of freeze-dried fruit: Strawberries, Bananas, Peaches, and Cinnamon Apples.
