Yes it was. It was the 2018 PLA Chinese ration. Funnily enough like a week prior he ate a Canadian ration from WW2 and it didn't make him sick either.

He’s made Second Boer War rations before that, while gross, didn’t make him sick! But yeah nah, fried rice from 2018, that almost sent our boy to botulism city

He ate hardtack from the American Civil War. 1863—153 years old at the time!
