Good Mood Meals Presents Latvian-Made Food Solutions for Defence and Preparedness
At Industry Day at the Ministry of the Interior, Good Mood Meals presented Latvian-made, long-shelf-life freeze-dried meals as food solutions for security, defence and preparedness needs.
Latvian-Made Food Solutions for Security and Preparedness
To strengthen cooperation between public services, businesses and research institutions, Industry Day was held at the Ministry of the Interior. During the event, companies presented their solutions, technologies and services, introducing cooperation partners to the latest developments in security and crisis preparedness.
At the event, Good Mood Meals represented the food solutions sector, showcasing freeze-dried meals made in Latvia. These products are designed for situations where long shelf life, low weight, reliable quality and easy preparation are essential.
In the TV3 News story, the food technology example refers directly to the Latvian-made solutions presented by Good Mood Meals — products suitable for both the defence sector and civil preparedness.
Why Freeze-Dried Food Matters for Preparedness
In crisis situations, food becomes one of the most important basic needs. It must be easy to store, easy to transport and quick to prepare. This is why freeze-dried products are especially suitable for services, reserves and individual preparedness.
The TV3 story highlighted that food solutions developed in Latvia are already being tested by the National Guard and the National Armed Forces, and that they offer a long shelf life of up to 8 years. This is an important factor in situations where products need to be stored safely and remain ready for use even after several years.
- ✓8-year shelf life
- ✓Lightweight and easy to transport
- ✓Quick preparation by adding water
- ✓Balanced nutrition for active and emergency situations
A Technology That Is Becoming More Accessible
Sandra Muižniece-Brasava, leading researcher at the LBTU Food Institute and our close cooperation partner, explained in the TV3 story that freeze-drying is not a new technology — it has existed for decades and is also associated with space food solutions.
Today, this technology is becoming increasingly accessible, making it possible to create products that are practical, lightweight and suitable for a wide range of nutritional needs. In this field, Good Mood Meals combines food production experience, Latvian know-how and a practical understanding of what is needed in security and preparedness situations.
Good Mood Meals Experience and Role
Good Mood Meals is part of AS “Roga-Agro”, a company with more than 30 years of experience in the food and agriculture sector. The company also has long-standing experience working with the defence sector, including in the field of assembling dry food rations.

Cooperation Between the State, Science and Businesses
Industry Day showed that cooperation between the public sector, science and businesses is essential for addressing today’s security challenges. Ideas from research and production can become practical solutions that strengthen national resilience.
We are proud that Good Mood Meals, as a Latvian company, can be part of this conversation and demonstrate food solutions created here in Latvia — solutions that can be useful for both the defence sector and civil society.
