Preppbox (veg 🌱)
The swedish Preppbox (vegetarian edition) is an insurance against hunger if the crisis comes. A crisis box with 18,500 kcal of good nutritionally calculated Meals Ready-to-Eat that fits perfectly in a standard wardrobe and lasts at least two years.
Preppbox is fully stocked with meals – 33 portions distributed over breakfast, lunch and dinner. Developed, selected and tested by professionals with long, documented experience in the field and crisis preparedness. In addition, it contains snacks and a water can that holds 10 liters.
The box measures 59*41 centimeters, is 26 centimeters deep and weighs approximately 14 kilograms. We call it the disaster box because that's when it should be used: if the disaster or crisis comes and you no longer have access to food as usual.
The meals are freeze-dried or soft-preserved and come in soft packaging that works much like a can - but flat, soft and much easier to handle. All food meets the requirements of the Armed Forces and standards for nutritional content such as calories, fat, fiber and protein.

19,500 calories
19,500 calories
The box contains food and snacks equivalent to 19,500 calories. A good starting point to understand what this means is that 2000 calories (kcal) on average is enough for an adult person per day. To make it a little easier to use, we have based Preppbox on the meals needed during a day: breakfast, lunch and dinner. As well as snacks when appropriate.
It can be summed up roughly like this:
👤 For an adult, the food is approx10 daysÂ
👤👤 For two adults, the food is approx5 daysÂ
👤👤👦🧒 For two adults and two children, the food is enough approx3 daysÂ
Note that calorie needs are affected by gender, age and body size. If you want to delve into reference values ​​for energy intake, based on the Nordic nutritional recommendations, the Swedish Food Agency hasa good compilation here.

Our meals are not only tasty. They are also the world's best.
We use producers who are recognized as the best in the world when it comes to the quality of soft preserved dishes. Every product that we have in stock goes through a number of test processes before they are put into production. In step 1 the producer tests, in step 2 our partner Outmeals tests (more on them below!) and in step 3 soldiers test and rate on a scale between 1-9, where 6 is approved for NATO. However, we and Outmeals have an internal requirement toleast6.5 for production, precisely to get the best dishes possible. If you want to read our and Outmeal's code of conductit is available in English here (PDF). In addition to that, Outmeals, and by extension we, have also signed the UN Global Compact, which is part of the UN's global goals within Agenda 2030.
