Self-Heating Food Packaging

Tempra’s self-heating meals deliver a hot, satisfying meal anywhere on Earth, with no power, no flame, and no cooking equipment … and since there is no refrigeration required, we can offer a minimum of a two-year shelf-life.  Each meal is fully self-contained: a single twist of the knob activates Tempra’s flameless self- heating technology, and within minutes the food inside reaches serving temperature. The meals are available in vegetarian, halal-certified, and culturally tailored options, and stored at ambient temperature.

How it works

Twist

Simply twist the knob to activate. No water, no flame, no batteries, no external power source.

Heat

The sealed heater unit can warm the meal to a desirable serving temperature in about 5 to 7 minutes. You can carry it while it heats.

Eat

Keeps the meal warm for up to 60 minutes. Completely sealed and self-contained heater, no adding water, no flammable off-gassing, so it’s safe to use indoors (tents, vehicles, aircraft, and any enclosed spaces).
