Learning the above fact makes me really wonder about food storage in my car. If MRE's can only handle a month of 120F temperatures will other foods/packaging do any better? Does anyone know if the packaging of MRE's gives them their shelflife and is this shelflife longer than your basic can of Dinty Moore Stew? Or is the main purpose of MRE's just to give grunts a bunch of calories in quick format?

I guess the test will be cans of stew left in the car then taste one each month to see how it goes. That'll test the patability but not their nutritional value...
