- Summary
- These small frankfurters were packaged for an unknown Apollo mission. As they were not consumed during the flight, they were returned to Earth.
- Each Apollo crew member was provided with three meals per day which provided approximately 2,800 calories per day. These small frankfurters were protected with a 4-ply, laminated film coating, which protected the food from loss of flavor, moisture and oxygen invasion, spoiling and excess crumbling, and was used on both the rehydratable and the bite-sized foods.
