Individual Meal Pack
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Individual Meal Pack or IMP is a field ration used by the Canadian armed forces. It resembles in many ways the US MRE. The IMP is designed to provide all the nutrition needed to sustain a soldier in the field for up to 30 consecutive days, with a shelf life of 3 years.

[edit] Requirements
Three IMP meals a day provide approximately 3600 calories, enough to nourish a soldier undergoing strenuous physical activity. Meals are best consumed when heated, but sometimes meals are eaten without being heated and impacts the overall tastes.
[edit] IMP Contents
IMP are divided into six different breakfast, lunch and dinner options.
Condiments (sugar, coffee whitener, ketchup, salt, pepper, towelette, matches, paper towel, toothpick) and spoon are provided in each meal.
