I was planning to order direct from the manufacturer in bulk, but after reading so many reviews that weren't bright and shining here I was a bit hesitant. Let me explain.

I live in a very hurricane prone area and try to maintain "a year supply" of food, etc. just in case. I can and dehydrate, etc. to supply a healthy pantry in case of emergencies. Well, 2020 was a year of emergencies and my pantry worked fine, but took a pretty hard hit. I was looking for a way to quickly restock my shelf stable meats without having to spend a lot of time since we're still in clean-up and repair from all of the past year's hurricanes, floods, freezes, and of course, the pandemic. That's why I was looking at Keystone.

Now, my experience . . . I ordered several cans of different meats to give them a fair trial. All of the cans arrived in good shape, without dents, and "store fresh". Upon opening, the pork was a large mass of pork chunks. The mass is definitely from the processing, no big deal. There is liquid in the can . . . again, from processing, and a small amount of fat floating on top. You would know that this is also normal if you've ever canned meat.

Some people have reported a "dog food" smell . . . they must buy expensive dog food. This smelled like opening leftover pork roast. Tasted like it, too.

I drained it, added BBQ sauce, heated it up, put it on hamburger buns, and enjoyed a tasty bbq pork lunch.

Pair with rice or mashed potatoes. Can get several meals, tastes good!

My husband's favorite barbecue pulled pork sandwiches are a breeze to put together with this truly table-ready pork. The 14.5 oz. can is perfect, too, for a meal for a small family. Great taste and great texture, after heating, of course, even as a stand-alone pork meal, which is what I like more than smothering the delicious pork taste in sauce. Have already bought a case through the company, too.

Has the broth in it for excellent soup

When the shtf I'm good
