Emergency Food Stock Update – Ongoing High Demand Due to COVID-19 Fears

Emergency Food Stock Update - Unprecedented Demand With COVID-19 Outbreak

Level 4 Lockdown Update

As an essential product, like we did last year, we will continue to ship emergency food during the level 4 lockdown. There may be some delays with shipping as the couriers are working hard to keep up with demand.

Stock Levels

We continue to see high demand for emergency food supplies and water filters due to ongoing fears around the Corona Virus.

As a result we are out of stock of some items.

But here is the latest update on availability of emergency food and water filters…

 

Update on Emergency Food Stock Levels and New Product Available

 

Readywise Long Life Emergency Food – New shipment expected late November

As of 22 October we are out of stock of all buckets of Wise Company (Now Readywise) long life Emergency food, except for the 120 serve Breakfast Buckets. However there are still some 12 and 24 serve cartons of Readywise food still available.

A container of new stock is on it’s way, but delivery is not expected until early in the new year. Please leave your name and email on our Contact page along with the product you are interested in to join our priority queue when the next shipment arrives. Or just sign up to the waitlist on each product page.

Emergency Food Available Now

There is plenty of stock of the NZ made Back Country Cuisine 20 meal carton available:

NEW

This has a 4 year best before date. Although as the manufacturer says, it is safe to eat many years beyond that, provided it’s stored appropriately and the packaging remains sealed. The manufacturer states:

 

“We know from our advanced shelf life testing that our meals are safe to eat well beyond four years as long as the bag hasn’t been opened or damaged.”

Other types of dry food only last a year or less.

Back Country Food Emergency Bucket

We also have the NZ made Back Country Cuisine 7 Day emergency Bucket available:

Vegetarian Options:

The Back Country 40 Serve Carton contains one vegetarian main option and one vegetarian breakfast option. So that can be made to be vegetarian by selecting those two flavours. 

These Back Country options are more expensive than the Wise Company foods. But if you want the ability to choose what individual meals are included in your Emergency Food Supplies, Back Country is the only option available.

 

Gluten Free Option:

We have an 84 serve gluten free bucket and also 120 fruit and vegetable buckets which are gluten free (although these buckets are out of stock currently). But also 6 of the 10 meals choices in the Back Country Cuisine 40 serve carton are gluten free. So as you can choose what meal flavours are contained in this pack it can be gluten free too:

Berkey Water Filters

More Berkey water filter systems are due early in the New Year. Berkey are currently all out of sightglass spigots. So we don’t have an ETA on them unfortunately. 

There is still high demand. So Berkey USA are allocating stock to distributors such as ourselves as it becomes available. It is taking Berkey USA much longer to dispatch these than usual as well. There are also some delays with air freight. If you’re interested in any Berkey products please email us with what you’re after and we’ll let you know as soon as they get here. Or simply join the waitlist on the product page you are after.
