The present invention relates to flameless heating apparatus for food products. In particular, the present invention relates to an improved potentially exothermic mixture/blend for such heaters and to a meal package including foods, and heating apparatus. It is known to have food products such as rations for back-packer, adventurers and military forces which comprise hermetically sealed packages of food which can be heated without flame, on demand. Such food products and apparatus are collectively referred to as Meals-Ready-to-Eat (“MRE”). In addition to the above uses, the products can be used as emergency rations for shelters and for heating of non-food products. Currently MRE packages yield hydrogen as a by-product. The present invention seeks to improve the efficiency of the reaction. In accordance with the present invention, there is provided a composition operable to provide thermal output with no or an insignificant production of any flammable gasses. |
