Hi,
I'm going on a camping trip soon, and would like to bring along some
self-heating meals. I've found three companies on the internet who
produce these:
Hot Pack - www.hotpackmeals.com (although I think they're based in the
UK)
Heater Meals - www.heatermeals.com
Alpine Aire Foods - http://www.aa-foods.com/

My question: Are these the only companies that make this type of item
or are there others (assuming I could receive them in USA)?

Howdy misterrachel!

Not only is there another comapny that makes self heating meals,
but they are kosher as well!  They are the New Jersey based La
Briute Meals, Inc.
http://labriutemeals.com/

"Glatt Kosher Shelf Stable/Self Heating Meals".

A description of their products.
http://labriutemeals.com/products.htm

"There is a minimum order of 3 meals any variety."

- Chicken Primavera with noodles - Price: $6.50 per meal
- Beef Stew Vegetables Entrée - Price: $6.50 per meal
- Vegetable Stew Supreme - Price: $6.50 per meal
- Assorted Pasta Dishes - Coming soon!
- Breakfast Delight - Coming soon!

"Our extra large entrees are tastefully served in an elegant
12 oz. package, complete with your tray, fork, napkin, salt
and pepper."

La Briute Meals, Inc.

That appears to be it for meals available in the US, but there
is a UK company called HotCan.
http://www.hotcan.com

"HOTCAN - self heating ready meals."

But as they state on their order page:
"Please note, on-line, secure ordering is only available to
UK Mainland customers only."

They are looking for distributers though.

"Agents and distributors required worldwide! Please email us
if you are interested."

If you want to make your own self heating meals, you can get
the Zesto-Therm ration heater, the same heaters used in Heater
Meals, at the web site of AAOOB Storable Foods.
http://www.aaoobfoods.com/mealsreadytoeat.htm#MRE%20Heaters

"Zesto-Therm's Flameless Ration Heater"

As an aside, it appears that Hot Pack is a Canadian company.
