SHOT Show 2026 put Foundation Outdoors in front of a wider audience, but the company is not new to freeze-dried food. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Based in Salt Lake City, Foundation has spent more than a decade in the freeze-dried industry as a large-scale co-manufacturer. The team reports producing more than one million meals for other brands before launching products under its own name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Foundation
It’s made in the US! <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Foundation Outdoors soft-launched its brand<\/a> two years ago and pushed into retail distribution last summer. The company currently focuses on independent retailers, with placement in more than 40 stores across the West Coast and Midwest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Made-in-USA With Clean Labels<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Foundation Freeze-Dried Meals are made in the USA using quality ingredients cooked together in-house before freeze-drying. According to the company, this process helps preserve nutrition while supporting a clean-label approach. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

USDA inspections are conducted daily at the facility, reinforcing oversight of production standards.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"Foundation
Their meals focus on high-protein, high-calorie recipes. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

The brand emphasizes high protein content and strong calorie-to-weight ratios. That focus targets users who need performance-focused nutrition rather than basic sustenance. Foundation positions its meals for camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, and general outdoor use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outdoor Meals vs. Survival Meals<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Foundation Outdoors offers<\/a> two primary product categories. The Foundation Outdoors meal line carries<\/a> a stated 10-year shelf life and sells as individual meals for $13.95 each. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Foundation Survival line<\/a> extends shelf life to 25 years through different packaging and the use of oxygen absorbers. Survival meals are sold in seven-day boxes, with a listed retail price of $250. The meals inside are the same recipes and flavors found in the outdoor line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

High-Protein Snacks and Performance Nutrition<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Beyond entr\u00e9es, Foundation offers a growing lineup of snacks. The current catalog includes 15 meal options and four snack products. Cheese cubes stand out as a high-calorie option designed to fuel the most demanding adventures. One bag contains approximately 1,000 calories and 64 grams of protein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foundation frames its nutrition around performance. The stated goal is to fuel sustained output in the field rather than simple survival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Packaging Designed for the Field<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n

Foundation offers a variety of unique flavors, like this lime chicken with avocado and mango.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Foundation Freeze-Dried Meals use bowl-shaped bags that stay open when unsealed. This design allows easier access and reduces mess during use. The packaging is PFAS-free and Prop 65 compliant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Foundation plans to expand further into high-performance snacks and premium treats, including barbecue chicken chips, teriyaki green bean<\/a> bites, and additional cheese varieties. Lightweight construction and calorie efficiency remain central to every product in development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
