Depending on your group size etc... You can try contacting this company:
Golden Season
Website contains details:
http://www.army-technology.com/contractors/transport/golden_season/index.html
It's a local company that markets military equipment to the overseas market...
From previous enquiries for my own trips, they'll willingly cater so long as your order is decently big (100 plus packs). Since your trip is long, and I assume you're not going alone, maybe you can combine with a few people to order.
Another thing to note is that since they mainly cater to the military market, they might reject your order if they aren't currently in the middle of producing a batch. They shut down their manufacturing lines if there isn't a current military or governmental order.
Try your luck. -
Try something like this... I see a lot of this happening in the UK, when people go on their own expedition....
Go and approach SFI (S'pore Food Industries) Corporate Comms dept. . Tell them you are going for an expedition. Ask for sponsorship.... offer to give detailed feedback on the food that they produce, in return for free MREs. Be prepared to even carry their branding on your rucksack for instance.
Usually if you do a bit of "wayang" most large companies would give them free to you, in exchange for either carrying their logo somewhere or to give feedback on their products.
But do look professional and show that you have organised your trip well. -

Well, do what you want but don't get caught.The timeless maxim.

actualli im abit surprised anyone would do it in the first place! but ok lah.. the pasta and some other menus can really be quite tasty if heated up and if one is hungry. and of course, the accessories pack is rather useful too.Originally posted by Bejean:As if i give a damn. -
was wondering...anyone actually bother heating up their rations outfield?
-

Went down to Sheares today and browzed their stuffs.
Bought 3 packets of commercial MRE at S$12.00/meal.

Bought beef mushroom, Cheese Tortellini and bearded chicken in sauce.
Makan the beef mushroom and cheese torellini entree along with one mexican rice side-dish, one packet of orange mix, one wheatsnack bread spread with jam, one sports chocolate bar and lastly coffee with creamer and 2 sugars.
Not bad not bad....better than SAF for sure.
