freeze dried food

[plucker]

hi all this is my first post so be gentle!
I have seen some cheap mountain house freeze dried cans on e-bay these are a bit large 8 to 9 meals in one tin could i open them & repack them into smaller vacuum pack portions & would this affect the shelf life.
hope someone can help.

Best not to, their shelf life is pretty much their selling point.

Hi Plucker. Mountain House say that you should eat the contents within 1 week of opening the tin so the 8 to 9 meals should be easily consumed within that period.

Thanks all for the advice i was thinking of repacking it into single pack portions & thinking they might keep like that for 3-5 years.
but it looks like this would not work.
back to the drawing board.
