BranchOut Food Inc. announced its strategic collaboration with the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) to enhance MREs (Meals Ready-to-Eat) through the implementation of the BranchOut Food's proprietary GentleDry technology. After comprehensive assessment, DEVCOM has determined that BranchOut's GentleDry technology surpassesze-drying methods in several crucial aspects, including nutritional content retention, flavor, and color preservation. At DEVCOM's request, BranchOut Food will develop a range of snack items specifically designed to be incorporated in future MREs.

Presently, BranchOut Food has provided DEVCOM with a variety of prototype snack items, which are currently undergoing sensory evaluation with troops at selected bases. BranchOut Food will engage in an ongoing product development program with DEVCOM, focusing on creating essential food items for inclusion in the MRE program. BranchOut Food expects to have multiple items integrated into the Military's next generation MREs".
