China proposes rules to label premade dishes and prevent restaurants from misrepresenting them as freshly cooked.
China is proposing draft rules to define premade dishes and curb restaurants from misleading consumers by labeling semi-prepared foods as "freshly cooked."
The guidelines, developed by multiple government agencies, aim to protect consumers, ensure food safety, and improve industry standards.
The rules clarify that industrially preprocessed foods requiring further cooking are considered premade, but centrally prepared dishes distributed to chain outlets are exempt if they meet safety standards.
The move follows public backlash after influencer Luo Yonghao accused Xibei, a major restaurant chain, of using premade ingredients while charging premium prices.
Restaurants are encouraged to voluntarily disclose preparation methods, with public consultation expected soon.
