Takeaway instant packs, also called dish packs and cooking packs, belong to the ready-to-heat dishes in the processed pre-prepared dishes, which means that they are processed frozen, chilled or ambient foods that can be eaten with just a quick reheat in a hot water bath or microwave oven, for example.

The main risk of instant packets comes from the packaging, whether the plastic bag used is a compliant material, there is no plasticizer contamination. The second is the risk of logistics and warehousing, because if the temperature is out of control, the raw materials, especially meat, eggs and aquatic products may deteriorate. If instant packs are thawed in logistics and storage, microorganisms may multiply to produce toxins that cannot be destroyed by heating, such as Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin.
