DAS EPA – The ultimate single-person ration pack for military operations!
In a military context, EPA stands for *Einpersonenpackung* (single-person ration pack) and contains all the necessary food items to sustain one person for a full day. "DAS" stands for "daily supply" and reflects precisely this feature: a daily ration for a single individual. The DAS EPA product line represents the latest and most advanced solution in this category. All products within the DAS EPA have been developed by specialists in high-quality, long-term food storage.
The food items in the DAS EPA are specially developed for exceptional long-term storage and boast the longest shelf life on the market. This enables multi-year planning and stockpiling, ensuring the pack is ready for immediate use whenever needed, without further preparation.
With an energy density of over 3,000 kcal per day, the pack is ideally designed for individuals required to perform strenuous physical activity throughout the day.
The DAS EPA offers a wide range of food items, including main courses, compact meals, energy bars, operational rations, snacks, and beverages. The pack provides great variety and meets all daily nutritional needs. Additionally, it includes useful equipment: a reusable heating bag that allows three meals to be heated without an open flame (using the three included heating elements), as well as a practical wooden cutlery set.
Despite its extensive contents, the pack remains compact and easy to handle. Its cushion-like shape allows it to be quickly stowed in luggage or at the destination. Easily heat up meals
Meals in the DAS EPA can be heated up quickly, easily, and safely using the integrated heating pouch and heating elements. A hot meal is guaranteed at any time—without open flames or extra effort—making it ideal for use on the go.
