7. Each Food Bar kit is designed to provide energy and nutrients for one person for one month in stressful emergency situations. They
are not intended to be complete caloric replacements during “normal” times. An average adult needs approx. 2,000 calories per day to
meet their energy needs. 4Patriots Emergency Food Bars provide 1,200 calories per day for one person. This may not be enough for
optimal nutrition, especially for an extended period of time. In order to supplement your daily calorie intake, to add variety or to
provide food for more than one person, we offer a number of supplemental products, including deluxe meal kits, meat packs, fruit and
vegetable packs, etc. By combining our Food Bars with these additional products, you can ensure that you have 2,000 calories per day
available to you during emergency situations. We’d be happy to discuss your particular preparedness goals, and to help you select
more or less survival food to meet your unique needs. Call 1-800-598-5012 to speak with our friendly Customer Service team.
