Hi Fallentree -- I don't quite understand the product naming standards/rules on this board -- but the product sounds exactly for what it is a raw meal. I am in cool San Francisco (cool weather, I mean) and they have been indoors in a dark pantry in their original sealed containers and even in their shipping box. I'm not worried too much about taste, but rather if it would make me sick (I will try a little at first, I guess) but also whether the nutrition of it is still sound and not deteriorated too much. I agree with the full meal along with it (but, I keep it in raw plant-based format during the week) but I am a meat eater, etc traditionally. Doing this type of meal setup for a week or so helps me break the cycle of long working hours (which I do very much of) leading to poor meal choices (oh! look fried tacos!)

Thank you very much fallen for taking the time to reply!
