A Box of Unlabeled Cans of Food is a box that holds 6 Unlabeled Cans of Food. The cans have no labels, so their contents stay a surprise until each one is opened. The box weighs 4.0, which is less than the 4.8 that six loose cans weigh.
The Open Box of Canned Food recipe empties the box into 6 cans. Six loose cans can go back into a box with the Pack 6 Cans of Food in Box recipe. A full box turns up now and then in survivor safehouses.
Eating
The food is in the cans inside the box. Each unlabeled can opens with a Can Opener, a Sharp Knife or a Chipped Stone. Since the label is gone, each can is a gamble until it is open. A box of six is still a solid stock of food when supplies run low.
