Economic Daily discusses prepackaged meals: As long as the right to choose is clearly and transparently handed over to consumers, they can eat with peace of mind.

The national standard for pre-packaged meals has finally been published for public comment. The reason for the discrepancy between the national standard for pre-packaged meals and consumer perception is mainly because it is actually a food safety standard, aimed at regulating pre-packaged meals as industrialized food, focusing on how to safely produce, transport, and store pre-packaged meals. In fact, central kitchens or pre-packaged meals are not some kind of "monster". Just think about how McDonald's and KFC have become global chains with consistent taste, relying on this system. The "Central Kitchen Operation Management Specification" has detailed requirements for processing, packaging, and storage, such as specifying that the packaging should include the central kitchen's name, food name, instructions for use, production date, storage conditions, and expiration date. If strictly followed, safety can be guaranteed. In recent years, various pre-packaged meals have entered households. The concern about the use of pre-packaged meals is that some restaurants pass off pre-packaged meals as "chef-prepared" dishes. As long as the right of choice is clearly given to consumers, they can eat with peace of mind.
