Note that most of the foil bags in which you rehydrate commercial freeze-dried food have plastic linings. Most metal water bottles (what my daughter insists on using) also have plastic linings.



Yes, rephrasing the name to be accurate would be great, except it is less convenient.

"Freezer Bag Rehydrating" just doesn't sound like something that most people would particularly understand.

"After I rehydrate it, don't I have to cook it before eating?"

I try not to respond to any correspondence written in all lower case letters.
