I think this is what Nepas uses -

Potassium Sorbate

Potassium Sorbate is the potassium salt of sorbic acid, an organic acid that has been used extensively as a fungistatic agent for foods. Potassium Sorbate is used to inhibit molds, yeasts, and fungi in many foods, such as jerky, cheese, wine, and baked goods.

I don't know how much more time you get, but I do know it is long enough to get to iraq/afghanistan

I bought some but I have not used it yet.

I bought it and used it to send jerky(whole meat) to my son in Afghanistan.  It took his 8 days to get it and less than a week to eat it! (with help of course!)  It's cold there now 27* so I'm sure it helps preserve it some.

I know it's not suppose to be. But I have had it out in the house for weeks and ate it maybe even months. I usually any more keep it in fridge. But other times.......  oh and it was still good!
