Protein Bars – our favorite gluten free ones are Larabar Protein and Protein Kind Bars. High Protein Pastas made with Chickpeas, Beans/Lentils, or Quinoa (make sure they’re gluten free if needed) Trail Mix – check your labels for gluten free trail mix or make it homemade.īeans – Canned and/or Dried Beans and Lentils Roasted Chickpeas are a good alternative if you can’t have nuts. Nuts – mixed nuts, raw, roasted, unsalted, flavored, etc. Peanut Butter / Nut Butters – almond, cashew, pecan, etc. These are great for other types of emergencies (illnesses, short-term disability, post operation, etc.) when you still have use of a working refrigerator but may not be able to get to the store. Towards the end of this list, I’ve included non shelf-stable items that should be refrigerated. The majority of this list includes shel-stable foods that are good for any type of emergency that would include power outages.

I know I’ll personally be using it as a resource. I hope you find this emergency food supply list helpful. If you want specific numbers of some of the food items you should have on hand (like canned vegetables or canned meat), Sally Strackbein’s Emergency Kitchen has a good list to start with. I’ve put together a list of some of the items we personally have stocked up on in case of an emergency. That sounds crazy daunting but it can be done. FEMA and the CDC recommend 2 weeks worth of food and water for every family member. The Red Cross recommends having at least 3 days of non-perishable food items for as many people you have in your household. If you don’t have some food stored up, now’s the time to do it. Right now, events are being cancelled and places are shutting down. I know personally how that feels and how it can be overwhelming and make you feel completely out of control and worried that you or your family will be able to eat if stores are closed and shelves are empty. So when quarantines and shutdowns are a possibility, it can put that thought process into overdrive. We don’t have the luxury of just eating whatever, whenever, wherever. You’re constantly planning what, when, how, and where you’re going to eat, how you’re going to feed your family, what you’re going to buy, constant meal-planning, etc. Having food intolerances and allergies means food is always on your mind. When you’re dealing with food intolerances, and sometimes multiple allergies/intolerances, it’s not always so easy to send somebody else to the store for you to grab what you need without risking them getting the wrong things. I’ve put together this emergency food list in case you may need it too. So I ended up getting a few extra things *just in case* and made mental note of what we had and what we could possible need.

We don’t belong to Costco or other wholesale clubs so we’re don’t already have 1000 rolls of toilet paper, enough mayo to feed the entire state of Connecticut at a state-wide summer picnic, or more cereal than we’d ever be able to eat. I don’t like to over-buy and only keep some pantry essentials on hand which are mainly baking supplies for this blog.

Which, as a natural over-thinker and anxiety prone individual, it had me wondering – am I prepared?ĭo we have enough food in the house to get us through if we were quarantined for two weeks? The answer was a definite NO. I was at the store getting a few groceries and supplies that I wasn’t able to order and as I was standing in the cleaning aisle, I was amazed at how empty it was. I’m writing this because as a mom who runs a household with multiple food intolerances, I need this list as much as you do. This is a thorough Emergency Food List that includes gluten free and allergy friendly options.įirst off, I want to say that I’m not writing this article to spread panic or to capitalize off of the recent pandemic.
