Prefabricated dishes have exploded, and more than 80% chain restaurants in Guangzhou are using them. The media broke the news that over 80% chain restaurants in Guangzhou use prefabricated dishes. In fact, many restaurants, especially some fast food restaurants, have long used prefabricated dishes. Prefabricated dishes suddenly caught fire and were used by more than 80% chain restaurants in Guangzhou.
The pre-cooked food is on fire, and it is used by over 80% chain restaurants in Guangzhou 1. When you go out to eat, do you feel that the food in your front foot has just been served, and the speed is faster than expected? When ordering takeout, the takeaway brother stayed at the door of the store for a very short time. Why can it be so fast? Because you may be eating prepared food.
In recent years, prefabricated dishes have gradually entered the public's field of vision because of their convenience and quickness. However, there are many complaints about it. Recently, China Consumers Association released the complaints accepted in the first half of the year, and found that one of the top complaints was the use of prefabricated dishes for take-out and internal meals, and customers were not informed.
This restaurant uses prefabricated dishes.
Do you need to take the initiative to inform customers?
The reporter conducted a random interview in Guangzhou, and the public said that the "wok gas" that is being fried now is the proper taste of the restaurant. It is reported that the proportion of chain restaurants in Guangzhou using prefabricated dishes has reached more than 80%.
China Consumers Association said that the labels of pre-cooked dishes were not detailed, and the use of pre-cooked dishes for take-out and internal meals was not informed, which damaged consumers' right to know and choose.
Cheng Gang, secretary-general of Guangdong Catering Service Industry Association, said: "At present, there is a lack of a series of standards such as unified definition and category of prefabricated dishes in China, and it will take time to clarify the boundaries of prefabricated dishes."
Lawyer Chen also said: "At present, there is no clear legal provision for the time being, and catering enterprises must clearly inform consumers whether they use prefabricated dishes. However, from the perspective of consumers' right to know, as consumers, if they can understand the relevant information of this food more comprehensively, they can really protect consumers' right to know more effectively. "
Is the cooked food really delicious?
In February this year, Jiangsu Consumer Protection Committee issued the Survey Report on the Consumption of Prefabricated Vegetables, pointing out that there are many problems in the market of prefabricated vegetables, such as substandard food quality, unsatisfactory food taste, unclear food labels, single food types and many logistics and distribution problems. 62.32% of consumers said that "the taste of prefabricated dishes is average", and 3.32% of consumers thought that "the taste of prefabricated dishes is poor and not delicious".
Although the taste is not satisfactory, with the advantages of convenience and quickness, prefabricated dishes are becoming more and more popular in business. Some enterprises have publicly stated that 95% of the dishes are pre-made, and the seemingly high-end dishes such as black truffle shrimp and Sweet and Sour Mandarin Fish are not carefully cooked by store chefs, but also pre-made dishes that only need simple heating.
According to industry sources, when we go to restaurants to eat, we rarely get the dishes we are cooking now, and about 60% of them are frozen prefabricated dishes, especially some small chain stores and home-cooked dishes.
Is it necessary to establish an advance notice system for pre-cooked dishes?
Chen Yinjiang, Deputy Secretary-General of china law society Consumer Protection Law Research Association, told the reporter that in view of the fact that cooked food may have more food safety risks, we can consider establishing a cooked food advance notification system. The Consumer Protection Law stipulates that consumers have the right to know the real situation of goods and services. Operators should also inform consumers of the real situation and related information of the goods truly, comprehensively and accurately.
Chen Yinjiang believes that consumers have the right to know whether the dishes are cooked on the spot and whether they are fresh enough. If consumers don't want to eat the pre-cooked dishes, because the operators didn't tell them, they ate them unwittingly, which actually violated the real wishes of consumers and was suspected of infringing on consumers' right to know and choose. With the large-scale listing of prefabricated vegetables, it needs to be further standardized in the future.
Prefabricated dishes have exploded, and more than 80% chain restaurants in Guangzhou are using them. Recently, the media broke the news that over 80% chain restaurants in Guangzhou use prefabricated dishes. In fact, many restaurants, especially some fast food restaurants, have long used prefabricated dishes.
In particular, take-away fast food such as braised chicken rice is mostly cooked by heating, without any cooking, and what they earn is the price difference in the middle. If these pre-made dishes are put in the supermarket, any consumer can eat them as soon as they are heated at home, and there is no need to spend a lot of money on the same things in restaurants.
Knowing these truths, many consumers will not choose to eat in restaurants, which is the importance of consumers' right to know. Many consumers go to restaurants to eat, just want to eat the chef's skills, not the same prefabricated dishes.
In the long run, the meaning of the restaurant will be gone. They don't even need to recruit chefs or buy raw materials such as dishes, so the cost will be greatly reduced. If you want to eat delicious food in the future, you have to watch China on the Tip of the Tongue to satisfy your desire.
Invisibly, catering has also been favored by capital. One store has become a million stores blindly, and eating fresh cooking has become a luxury. Once the seasoning package is released, everything will be fine, and a large number of chefs will not be far from unemployment. E-commerce will dry up physical stores. Will prefabricated dishes dry up the profession of chef? We will wait and see.
Crops leave the land, vegetables leave the chef, do they still have souls? Food is the first thing for the people, and the delicious food on the tip of the tongue has to be industrialized. Who destroyed it?

Do you need to inform customers when using prefabricated dishes in restaurants?
On the issue of prefabricated dishes, the reporter conducted a random interview in Guangzhou. Many citizens said that the "pot taste" that is being fried now is the taste that restaurants should have.
The reporter learned that the common forms of pre-cooked dishes, including cooking bags or semi-finished products, actually transfer the preparation of ingredients from stores to the central kitchen, which is conducive to improving efficiency by adopting batch and centralized processing. At present, the proportion of chain restaurants in Guangzhou using prefabricated dishes has reached more than 80%.
In this regard, China Consumers Association said that the logo of pre-made dishes was not detailed, and the use of pre-made dishes for take-away and in-store food was not informed, and consumers' right to know and choose was damaged.
Cheng Gang, Secretary General of Guangdong Catering Service Industry Association: At present, there is a lack of a series of standards such as unified definition and category of prefabricated dishes in China, and it takes time to clarify the boundaries of prefabricated dishes.
