{{Info|'''Packaged survival meals''', sometimes abbreviated as 'PSM', are a high-tech long-lasting food option. They are the colonists' primary food source at the very start of each game (except for a tribal start). They can also be found in cargo pods or cooked (after research) by colonists with a minimum cooking skill of 8. Packaged survival meals restore 0.9 nutrition and do not spoil, meaning they do not require cold storage. Note that they can still [[deteriorate]]. They require 0.3 nutrition of vegetarian and 0.3 nutrition of meat or animal product to produce.}}

Producing a packaged survival meal takes 0.6 units of nutrition in ingredients and yields 0.9 units of nutrition as a result -- a nutrition efficiency of 150%.  This is not as efficient compared to other meals such as [[fine meal]]s, so it's best not to prepare these for regular colony use. Unlike most other meals, packaged survival meals can be sold to traders and friendly settlements.
