Having a little time i took a closer look at the MCR pack - The items are sourced from literally all over the world. The Apple puree had a small leak - maybe from handling or posting and the matches were missing which i feel is quite an important omission and whatever the Strawberry Castus is i have no idea.
Pack weight was 1.62 kg.
the pack had a best before date of Sept 2010 which i think is short but most of the individual fresh food packs have best before somewhere in the 2011's
Heres the breakdown
