Primary Packaging Each 2,100-kcal daily EFP unit will be prepared as nine equal-sized bars, each centrally scored to allow breaking into two segments. The nine bars will be individually wrapped to facilitate handling of individual bars, while reducing contamination to additional bars, through human, insect, animal, or microbial intervention.

From page 137... ...
A multiple set of bars, sufficient for a 5-day supply of nine bars per day (i.e., five pouches containing nine bars each) will be packaged together and constitute the distribution unit called a "bundle." The five trilaminate pouches will be bundled into a low-density polyethylene bag to provide either a 5-day individual EFP supply or a daily ration for a family of five members.
