What type of food is typically required in an approved liferaft?

In an approved liferaft, the requirement typically specifies that there must be a certain amount of food per person to ensure survival in emergency situations. The regulation often states that one pound of food per person is necessary. This amount is designed to provide sufficient calories and nutrients to sustain individuals until they are rescued.

The emphasis on one pound signifies a balance between portability and emergency nutritional needs, ensuring that the food stored is manageable in terms of weight and volume but still adequate to support individuals in distress. This standard helps to ensure that all safety requirements for emergency preparedness are met while taking into account the practical limitations of storing food in a liferaft.

While other options may present various types of food items, only the specification of one pound directly aligns with the regulatory requirements for liferaft provisions.
