3 Months of Everyday Shelf-Stable Foods Longer-Term, Life-Sustaining Food Supply
Now You Know … Let’s get to work•Who am I storing for?
•Number of people•Ages•Nutritional requirements•Personal preferences•Dietary limitations•Special needs
•Storage goals •2 weeks•3 months•1 year

Grandpa Ray’s Chunky Food Storage
© Your Family Ark
Pros•Part of regular diet•Easy to store
•Easy to prepare•Easy to rotate
•Variety of soups
Cons•High in sodium•Preservatives, MSG
•Storage life 5-8+ years•Missing vitamin C
•Low in calcium•Diet fatigue•Not enough calories
The plan: One can soup over rice daily
Daily caloric intake around 1000 calories150 lbs (26 #10 cans) rice and 365 cans soup
$83.20 rice + $400 soup = $483.20
1 cup dry rice – 6.5 oz – 675 calories
1 can Chunky soup – 18 oz – 240-400 calories
Let’s Make It Better•Add mandarin oranges, V8 juice or supplements for vitamin C•Powdered or shelf stable chocolate milk (he hates regular milk)
and Tums to increase calcium intake•Add a variety of canned fruits to increase caloric intake
•Add pasta for a little variety in place of some of the rice
Overall … it’s a pretty good plan Grandpa!

Enemies to Food Storage
© Your Family Ark
•Air
•Chemical Contamination
•Insects
•Light
•Moisture
•Rodents
•Temperature
•Time
Air
© Your Family Ark
•Air contains about 21 percent oxygen which oxidizes many of
the compounds found in foods
•Oxygen allows for the growth of insects and bacteria
•Removing or displacing the oxygen from the packaging helps
increase the shelf life of low moisture foods
Chemical Contamination
© Your Family Ark
•Use only food-grade containers to store food
•Never store food in any container which has
been used for non-food items
•Never store food next to any volatile chemical
compounds as they may be transferred to the
food and affect odor, flavor, and safety

Insects
© Your Family Ark
•Purchase fresh quality food products
•Insects and other pests may infest, destroy,
contaminate, and consume food
•Insects come in various life stages and
require special handling to destroy each
stage
•Storing food in a container with an oxygen-
free environment will destroy insects in all
stages
Light
© Your Family Ark
•Irradiation by sunlight produces physical
and chemical changes in food
•Light speeds deterioration of both food and
packaging
•Direct sunlight is especially damaging
•Foods store best in a dark environment or
in containers which keep light out
Moisture
© Your Family Ark
•Low moisture foods have the longest shelf-life
•Good candidates for long term storage should have a
moisture content of 10 percent or less
•Caution: Botulism poisoning may occur when moist
products are stored in reduced oxygen packaging
•Store containers off of the floor, especially concrete.
Concrete can wick moisture to storage containers
•Moisture can destroy some food packaging (paper
degradation or rust)
Rodents
© Your Family Ark
•Deposit waste products in stored grains
•Mice can chew through a Mylar bag or foil pouch very
quickly. They can also chew through plastic buckets. Rats
have been known to chew through metal garbage cans.
•If you have a rodent problem, take care of it immediately.
Traps and poison bait can be quite effective. Keep them out
of the reach of children and pets!
•Keep your storage area free from spilled grain or food
•Store rodent bait and traps as part of your basic storage
.
Temperature
© Your Family Ark
•Storage temperature, as well as temperature fluctuation, effect shelf-
life of stored foods
•Every 10F drop in temperature doubles the storage life of seeds. It is
possible to double, triple or even quadruple shelf life by storing at
lower temperatures.
•Optimal storage temperature for shelf-stable food storage is 40-60 F
•Freezing or sub-zero temperatures do not damage stored grains
•Never allow canned foods (canned fruits, vegetables, beans, meats,
etc.) or glass jars to freeze. Freezing changes food textures, leads to
rust, bursting cans, and broken seals that may let in harmful bacteria.
Why Store Right ?

•11 year old pinto beans stored in plastic bucket in garage and then in a driveway for a year
•Exposed to heat, light, cold, and
extreme changes in temperature
•Beans are darker, shriveled skins with
shiny appearance
•Flavor was a little bitter but did soften with additional cooking time in a pressure cooker
•Much lower quality
•Edible but not desirable
•11 year old pinto beans stored in plastic bucket in basement (large
cup)
•11 year old pinto beans stored in
#10 can indoors and later in basement (small cup)

Store Food In Cool, Dry Place
•Recommended storage temperature is 60-
70° (average basement) or less
•Garage reduces shelf life by 50%
•Cooler storage at 40° at least doubles shelf
life
•Constant temperature

good as the other

Time
© Your Family Ark
•As food ages; color, flavor, aroma, texture and appearance deteriorate
and nutritional value diminishes. Some foods may become unsafe to
consume after time.
•White rice, pinto beans, corn, wheat, rolled oats, pasta, potato flakes,
dehydrated apple slices, and sugar are examples of low-moisture foods
which can be stored for 30+ years if stored appropriately
•Foods which are high in fats or oil such as; brown rice, shortening, and
vegetable oils will go rancid in a much shorter period of time
•Regularly rotate your food stores so it never gets old
•Eat what you store and store what you eat

Steamboat Bertrand sunk to the bottom of the Missouri River in 1865. Canned foods
recovered from the wreckage in 1968 were tested by NFPA chemists.
• Analyzed for bacterial contamination and nutrient value
• Lost fresh smell and appearance
• No microbial growth
• Safe to eat
• Significant amounts of vitamin C and A lost
• Protein levels remained high
• Calcium values were comparable to today’s products
Canned corn in California basement after 40 years tested
• Safe from contaminants
• Low nutritional loss
• Looked and smelled like recently canned corn
Information according to chemists at the
National Food Processors Association (NFPA)
• Cool
• Dry
• Dark
• Organized

• Perfect for long-term storage of dry (10 percent moisture or
less), shelf-stable, and low-oil content foods **
• All foods, except sugar, should be packed with an oxygen
absorber to prevent insect infestation and preserve quality of
food.
•These cans provide true oxygen barrier which make them a
great choice.
• Protect cans from moisture to prevent rust
• Do not store in direct contact with concrete floors or walls
• Will store wheat, rice, beans for 30+ years.
**Warning: Botulism poisoning may result if moist products are stored in packaging that reduces oxygen (for example, cans, foil pouches, or bottles with oxygen absorber packets).
Plastic Buckets
© Your Family Ark

or pest proof.
•Not suitable for packaging food (granola bars, etc.) for
emergency kits
**Warning: Botulism poisoning may result if moist products are stored in packaging that reduces oxygen (for example, cans, foil pouches, or bottles with oxygen absorber packets).
PETE Plastic Bottles
© Your Family Ark
•Use only polyethylene terephthalate (PETE
or PET) bottles
•Store only shelf-stable, dry (10% moisture
or less) foods such as rice, wheat, corn, etc.
•Good for water storage
**Warning: Botulism poisoning may result if moist products are stored in packaging that reduces oxygen (for example, cans, foil pouches, or bottles with oxygen absorber packets).
