Emergency Food Rations--Available in bulk in Chile??

12 years ago
Hi,

I am considering a move to Chile, and want to ship some cartons of Emergency food rations... the kind that are compact, and store in a sealed, freeze-dried bag, and have a shelf life of 5 years or so.

Here is an example of what I'm talking about: Mainstay 3600. These are bars of 3600 calorie "bars" that can be stored. My idea was to ship a few dozen cartons to Chile.

http://www.amazon.com/Mainstay-Emergency-Food-Rations-Packs/dp/B000B43JI0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1382387905&sr=8-1&keywords=mainstay+3600

Customs regulations seem to restrict "food" from entering the country, but I'm curious if there are stores or places or companies in Chile that already sell these compact, kind of dried food goods in bulk, like they do here in the US?

Of course, I realize local fresh food is available in Chile, but that's not what I want to know about. I just don't know if there is an industry for "survivalist" types there.

I ask, because I am trying to time the shipping of my container of household goods, with my arrival in Chile.

Any thoughts or comments on the above subject??

Thanks!
