Freeze-dried chicken Alfredo pasta meal pouch

Before you pack

The details that matter

Information is specific to the recorded product or flavor. An unverified field is not a claim that it is absent.

Flavor or product scope
Chicken Alfredo Pasta / Chicken Alfredo; one Single Pouch variant, not Peak Refuel's wider meal range. The official product title is Chicken Alfredo; the linked V05 label and page description call the flavor Chicken Alfredo Pasta.
Ingredient summary
The official V05 back label lists Alfredo sauce (2% milk [reduced-fat milk, vitamin A palmitate, vitamin D3], heavy cream [cream, carrageenan, mono- and diglycerides], Parmesan cheese [pasteurized milk, cheese cultures, salt, enzymes], butter [pasteurized cream, salt], enriched wheat flour [wheat flour, niacin, reduced iron, thiamin mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid, enzymes]), garlic, spices, salt, instant rotini pasta (semolina, niacin, ferrous sulfate [iron], thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin, folic acid), and cooked seasoned diced white chicken meat (chicken white meat, salt). This transcription reflects the linked manufacturer label image; compare the physical pouch for the package you buy.
Allergen scope
The Chicken Alfredo V05 back label states Contains: Milk, Wheat. The official product data repeats Milk and Wheat. The reviewed label does not state an additional may-contain allergen; no broader facility-level allergen exclusion is inferred.
Serving scope
Manufacturer product data lists two servings per pouch and a serving size of one-half pouch. The linked V05 back-panel label states two servings per container and 1/2 package (70 g) per serving. Product page net weight is 4.97 oz. Nutrition numbers are intentionally not reproduced here.
Storage & preparation
Flavor-specific preparation: open at the tear mark and remove the oxygen absorber; add 3/4 cup (6 oz) boiling water; stir well, zip closed, and let stand 10 minutes; open and stir again. The FAQ states an unopened shelf life of 10 years. The meals collection advises cool, dry storage away from direct sunlight. No opened-pouch storage interval was verified; follow the physical pouch for package-specific dating and handling.
Availability
Manufacturer listing found when checked; this does not establish current stock.

The official product page and linked V05 back-panel image were checked on 2026-11-05; no earlier-versus-current formulation history was verified. Because recipes and labels can change, use the current pouch for ingredient and allergen decisions.

Check the current package for ingredients, allergen and cross-contact statements, serving size, and storage instructions. Dietary tags are not an allergy-safety guarantee.

Listed features

Claims about a named flavor or format should not be assumed to cover the whole range.

  • Official product data identifies a Single Pouch variant and currently marks it available.
  • The manufacturer lists two servings per pouch, each serving being one-half pouch; the package label identifies a 4.97 oz net weight on the product page and two 70 g servings on the linked V05 back label.
  • Preparation is directly in the pouch: remove the oxygen absorber, add 3/4 cup (6 oz) boiling water, stir, seal for 10 minutes, then stir again.
  • The official back-panel label names rotini pasta, Alfredo sauce, garlic, spices, salt, and cooked seasoned diced white chicken meat.

What the facts offer

Useful qualities

  • The pouch is both the stated preparation vessel and eating container, so the manufacturer does not require a separate cooking pot for its directions.
  • The specified water amount and 10-minute rest are stated on the flavor-specific product page and back label.

Check the tradeoffs

Things to consider

  • Preparation requires boiling water, a wait, and stirring; the meal is not ready to eat straight from the pouch.
  • The label declares milk and wheat, and the manufacturer's FAQ does not certify any meal gluten-free.

Label first

Dietary notes

The linked Chicken Alfredo back label declares Contains: Milk, Wheat. The recipe includes white chicken, so it is not vegetarian or vegan based on its listed ingredients. Peak Refuel says no meals are certified gluten-free; this product contains wheat. No other dietary tag is applied.

On the trail

Packing & preparation
