flag China's pre-made food boom sparks trust issues over labeling, freshness, and authenticity, urging clearer regulations.

flag The rising use of pre-made dishes in China, fueled by industrial kitchens and delivery platforms, has raised concerns about transparency and trust. flag Consumers increasingly value freshness and traditional preparation, but unclear labeling and inconsistent definitions of pre-made foods create confusion. flag While the industry sees these meals as efficient standard offerings, many consumers view them as less authentic. flag Experts recommend broad, existing food safety standards—like those for packaged goods—over rigid, dish-specific rules, emphasizing process transparency in labeling. flag Government support for the sector continues, but aligning regulations with public expectations remains key to balancing innovation, safety, and cultural values.
