HERO RATIONS is so excited that to bring the very best WWII K Rations, D Rations and C Rations. We've upgraded a number of materials and components of the K Rations - Including a better wax that gives the inner boxes a more accurate wax dipped look, lighter color Waldorf toilet paper wrapper and new unbleached paper, new cigarette packaging with inner trays (empty), redesigned Patten sugar boxes and more! Boom! Everything you need for your K ration! COMPLETELY READY TO EAT! We’ve spent years researching and reproducing rations for reenactors and living history displays! Countless hours of research and using our own personal collection as a template to build the best instant rations for you! Choose breakfast, supper or dinner, boxed and ready to go. What makes HERO RATIONS WWII rations the BEST out there: 1. multiple sources for packaging, materials and ingredients 2. We use originals in our collection to help reproduce contents exact to originals 3. No expense spared to develop kits Contents: Outer and inner boxes: Just like originals, our K Ration kits come with both the museum quality inner and outer cartons filled with edible contents. These include the waxed inner box and kraft outer box and all contents listed below. For 2024 we have Patten Food Corporation for the early/mid outer boxes, with the preferred tuck in flap design! These are professionally printed cartons, not at home on an inkjet printer! Unlike other K rations out there, these K rations are also CORRECTLY PACKED. Since HERO RATIONS is able to procure the correct sized cans and items, the cans and cigarette boxes are packed side-by-side, with matches above the can JUST LIKE ORIGINALS. The cellophane accessory bag contains the remaining food items all tightly packed just like originals with the gum packed outside the bag.

NOTES: Biscuits are made to the correct WWII specifications (K-2 graham, K-4 or C-Type). These biscuits are correctly made using a 3-D printed mold, using flour I mill at home with a Nutrimill Harvest, invert sugar, milk powder, cane sugar, soda, malt, sea salt, (molasses and wheat germ for the K-2 biscuits) and pork lard. Processed foods are produced using GMP techniques in sanitary environment. Biscuits contain: wheat, cane sugar, invert sugar, pork lard, salt, baking powder, milk powder, malt powder. K-2 biscuits also contain molasses and wheat germ. Other components are store bought from manufacturers processed and repackaged for the ration kits. For ingredient information on those items send me a message. Cigarette packs DO NOT contain any tobacco. Meat cans will be ham, chicken or pork depending on availability. Starting in March 2024, cans will have a small designator on the underside noting contents and expiration date.

IMPRESSION NOTES: These are appropriate for any impression from mid-1943 till the end of the war.
