NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / December 10, 2015 / In response to food recalls and restaurant closings caused by outbreaks of E. coli, including recent outbreaks attributed to Chipotle restaurants in nine states, Food4Patriots officials are warning Americans to prepare for emergencies by stocking up on healthy food with long shelf lives.

Food contamination, such as the one that has closed a number of Chipotle restaurants recently, represent just one of the reasons officials at Food4Patriots recommend stocking up on healthy emergency food with a long shelf life.

"We live in an imperfect world where at any moment we could be faced with contaminated food, high food prices or food shortages, not to mention the supply chain being disrupted by extreme weather or other disasters," said Allen Baler, Partner at Nashville, Tenn.-based 4Patriots LLC. The company provides a variety of products to help people become more self-reliant and independent.

The key is preparation, and that’s where Food4Patriots comes in. The wide variety of delicious, nutritious and easy-to-prepare food with a 25-year shelf life is sold in 72-hour, one-week, four-week, three-month and one-year kits.

"Even Chipotle is calling the impact of these E. coli-related closings 'extremely volatile,'" Baler said.

"It’s a warning sign, pointing to just how delicate the grocery and restaurant supply chains can be. That’s exactly why we recommend a backup solution that you can trust to be there when you need it… even after 25 years on the shelf."

The food in Food4Patriots emergency kits can be prepared in less than 20 minutes and requires nothing more than boiling water. It is kept in easy-to-store, space-age Mylar pouches, which keep out air, moisture and light, and which are tucked inside tough, stackable totes that are discreet and store anywhere – basement, attic, garage, shed, cabin or even an RV.

"Some people who purchase Food4Patriots emergency food kits have chosen to taste it immediately – many of whom ordered more right away – while others decided to place their food in long-term storage," Baler said. "Either way, they have food for themselves and their families should contaminations or other food emergencies occur."

Among the foods offered by Food4Patriots are:

- Granny’s Homestyle Potato Soup
- Mountain Man Granola
- Heartland’s Best Mashed Potatoes
- Summer’s Best Corn Chowder
- Apple Orchard Oatmeal
- Creamy Chicken Alfredo
- Mixed Fruit Blend

Those who order one of the Food4Patriots emergency kits also receive four complimentary reports containing information that is vital to their lives: "Top 10 Items Sold Out After Crisis," "The Water Survival Guide," "The Survival Garden Guide" and "How to Cut Your Grocery Bills in Half."

Food4Patriots provides emergency food products that are shelf-stable for 25 years. Food4Patriots survival food kits are made with food grown, harvested and packaged in the United States, and all of the meals are made without any genetically-modified products, preservatives or fillers. The kits are available in 72-hour, one-week, four-week, three-month and one-year supplies.
