CINCINNATI, OH — For over 30 years, Wornick Foods has been producing the Meals-Ready-To-Eat (MRE) that are familiar to troops worldwide. As the years have passed, the meals have changed substantially -- and many troops agree -- they've gotten better.
"I remember my first MRE," says Marine Staff Sergeant Nathan Puckett, "It was Country Captain Chicken. It looked like the assembly line worker puked inside the wrapper and then sealed it."
Some new offerings of MRE's that have been popular with the troops include Chili Macaroni, Beef Brisket, and Chicken Fajita. Despite the success of the latest line of meals, Randy Newbold, Director of Wornick's Military Business Unit, says the company is trying to innovate further.
