Legend:
B: Beverage
FF: Fresh Food: These foods are neither processed nor artificially preserved. They are normally eaten fairly quickly so that they do not spoil during a space mission.
I: Irradiated: Products that are cooked and packaged in flexible foil pouches and sterilized by ionizing radiation so they can be kept at room temperature.
IM: Intermediate Moisture: Foods preserved by taking some water out of the product while leaving enough to maintain a soft texture. They can be eaten without any preparation.
NF: Natural Form: These foods are ready to eat and are packaged in flexible pouches.
R: Rehydratable: Water is removed from these foods by freeze-drying them. They are lightweight and easy to store. Water is then replaced in the foods before they are eaten.
T: Thermostabilized: Foods that are heat processed so they can be stored at room temperature.
