The Bad

  • Free Sample Limitations 

Free Sample Limitations 

We love that you can get a free sample before investing a lot of money in foods you may not even like. However, you can't choose which entree sample you'll get, you need to pay to ship ($1.99), and the website says the free sample is available to customers for a "very limited time only."

The Bottom Line

Daily Bread emergency food carries high-quality products and makes it easy to find foods that suit your needs if you have a specialty diet or have a food allergy. Plus, Daily Bread has a flat-rate shipping fee depending on how much you buy and orders over $150.00 ship free. However, there are companies that let you choose your own samples to try, giving you a taste of multiple products instead of just one as Daily Bread does.

My mother-in-law purchased several hundred dollars worth of Daily Bread food storage #10 cans, though I have no idea when. Now she's 95 with dementia and one of my many tasks is to go through her food storage to determine what is still good. While some of the cans are stamped with a 'use by' date, about a third are not. All they have on the bottom of the cans is a very long identifier made up of numerals and letters. I tried to go online to their website, but it's down. Now I'm listening to insipid music while on hold with a wholesale distributor waiting to be helped. Can you say SCAM?

Purchased large order of products from Daily Bread in 2012. The BlueBerry Pancake cans are bloated and exploded powder when I opened one of them. I called them at 877-273-2315 and requested a replacement. I was told that I needed to give them my bank account number and routing number in order to do that. I was speaking to someone with a very strong accent that I was barely able to understand, and was told that unless I gave them my banking information, there was nothing they could do. When I told them I was not comfortable doing that, they said there was nothing they could do for me and ended the phone call.

I love this site and had placed several orders. they offer a daily deal that is always at a very discounted price. so far the items I have purchased have been very good. I like that they offer quantities for small scale such as families or on a much larger scale which would be good for groups or to order with multiple families. weve also used these items when we go camping.

I bought a 5 year supply for 1 (1 year for 5) in 2011. It’s now August 2020. Over the years I’ve opened a can here and there to test the quality and edibility of the food. Overall the food is edible. Sometimes the taste is fine and sometimes it has a metallic taste. I’ve had to discard all of the Blueberry Pancake mix cans as they were bloated. I couldn’t risk the cans rupturing. I was told by Daily Bread that it was excess nitrogen. Today I opened a can of Strawberry Creamed Wheat. It was one big rock. I shook the other cans of the same and all were solid.

Very functional and positive, Christian-based emergency services provided. I know a few people that had to use them and we’re very grateful and happy.

They have lots of different options for buying food for your food storage or even just for camping or backpacking. Their food is great and the prices are very fair.

We ordered a lot of food emergency prep items from Daily Bread and have been happy with what we received. They are easy to store and send a good variety.

Bought the product in 2011. Been stored in an interior closet. Went to move and noticed the blueberry pancake mix cans were about to explode. Have sent numerous messages to company and no response. Very disappointed.
