Many people eat takeout every day, because it is convenient and can quickly meet their dietary needs. But have you ever wondered why some takeout is much faster than you think? From placing an order to eating, it may only take ten minutes, even faster than our own cooking? The investigation team exposed some internal stories! The dish package business is booming, and the cost may only be 4 yuan! ? I thought it was a delicious hot dish cooked by the chef, but the reality is that when you place an order through your mobile phone, some merchants will take out long-term refrigerated food packages! After simple reheating with microwave oven and other tools, after a few minutes, the hot dishes can be taken out of the pot and put into a plastic lunch box, and then delivered to consumers by the takeaway staff.
The reporter found a dish package dealer in Longgang District. They represented 25 kinds of dishes, with unit prices ranging from 4.2 yuan to 8 yuan, covering all kinds of hot food in Guangdong, Sichuan and Hunan. ? According to the dealer, a package of dishes is usually about 211 grams, which is exactly the amount of a plate of takeout. Dealers said that in the catering industry, the dish package is no longer a secret, especially in take-away shops, it is more common. Take an ordinary small restaurant as an example. If the restaurant prepares its own ingredients, it can order up to 211 takeout orders a day, but if you use a dish package, you only need to prepare rice. Then, the sales volume of this restaurant can be doubled to ten times, and at least more than 2,111 takeout books can be sold a day.
The distributor of the dish package said that most dishes using the dish package came from fast food restaurants and take-away shops. "To tell you the truth, if you hire a chef, the monthly cost is 7,111 to 11,111 yuan, and you'd better buy this ready-made one." The shelf life of common ingredients in the refrigerator is only two to three days, and the shelf life of food packages can be between six months and one year. For example, the shelf life of food packages can be as high as 18 months. In other words, the takeout you eat may have been preserved. The dealer shows that the production dates of both packages are in 2121. When asked if it was out of date, the dealer said that this date was normal. "Takeaway is made of instant bread? We ordered takeout and thought it was freshly fried. What's the difference between buying instant rice in the supermarket?
Some consumers are angry about selling instant bread, and even think it is cheating consumers. According to the Health Times, convenience food packaging is usually called dish package and cooking package in the food industry. It belongs to ready-to-eat hot dishes (that is, hot meals) in the processed products of prefabricated dishes, that is, processed frozen, refrigerated or room temperature foods. You just need to heat it quickly in a hot bath or microwave oven to eat it. There are many frozen food packages on the e-commerce platform. The sales data on the e-commerce website show that the prices of various food packages range from 5 yuan to RMB 11, involving dozens of dishes, and the single product with the highest sales volume involves more than 1.8 million copies. Some people say that cooking in this way is faster than fried rice, and I will continue to use them in the future. " This comment appears in the comments section of the e-commerce platform.
Almost many people in the catering industry commented: "This cooking bag has been used since the store opened." According to insiders, many shops use cooking bags to save time, and use fast food bags when many customers take out food. In fact, besides being stale, take-away food is high in oil and salt, and the unsanitary environment will also affect health. However, eating take-away food for a long time and heavy taste will induce cardiovascular disease. In order to pursue the taste, take-out usually adds a lot of salt, monosodium glutamate, chicken essence and various seasonings, which makes it easy for people to develop a "heavy taste" diet preference. The most popular take-away dishes on the internet are mala Tang, mutton kebabs, hot and sour potato shreds, etc. They are also very fragrant! ? Food with heavy taste is easy to consume excessive sodium, which is a risk factor for hypertension and cardiovascular disease! Even heavy food is a "companion" of gastric cancer.
