Abstract:
In recent years, owing to the rise in popularity of new types of consumption behavior, including “lazy economy” and “cooking rookie,” pre-prepared dishes are becoming popular with consumers in China and worldwide. This is because of their merits, such as convenience and speed. Consequently, their market scale is gradually growing, with sound prospects for growth. Nevertheless, the sector is currently in the preliminary exploration phase in China, with standards and regulations, as well as the quality control system remaining inadequate. Fewer studies and reports consider the quality of the industry’s products and the status quo of the sector’s development. This study reviews the origin, concept, and development status quo of the pre-prepared dishes sector, and analyzes the current status and progress of research on testing methods, revision of standards, quality control, and risk assessment based on the status quo of quality safety of pre-prepared dishes in China. Moreover, this study offers a detailed analysis of the existing issues in the development of the pre-prepared dishes sector. Additionally, it proposes relevant response recommendations from the perspectives of product research and development, inter-disciplinary talent training, challenges in the development of enterprises, and management and control system. This aims to help readers gain a profound understanding of the pre-prepared dishes sector and provide information of reference value for the research and development of related sectors.
