Takeaway instant food packages are also called dish packages and cooking packages. They are ready-to-heat dishes among pre-made processed dishes. They also refer to processed frozen, refrigerated or normal temperature foods that only require a hot water bath or microwave oven. Wait for quick heating and serve.

The main risk of instant food packages comes from packaging, whether the plastic bags used are made of compliant materials, whether there is plasticizer contamination, etc. Secondly, there are risks in logistics and warehousing, because if the temperature is out of control, raw materials, especially meat, eggs, and aquatic products, may deteriorate. If instant food packages are thawed in logistics and warehousing, microorganisms may multiply and produce toxins that cannot be destroyed by heating, such as Staphylococcus aureus enterotoxin.

Eating risks:

1. As long as they are produced in a standardized manner, the food safety risks of instant food packages are far less than the risks of dishes made on-site in stores.

2. The biggest food safety risk in the catering industry comes from microorganisms. Instant food packages are thermally processed at the front end and need to be reheated at the store. When food is adequately heated, the risk of food poisoning is greatly reduced. Moreover, the instant package model reduces the number of people involved in food production, and food safety risks will naturally be reduced.

3. As long as they are produced and transported under strict standards, the food safety risks of instant takeout packages are still low. However, merchants are obligated to clearly indicate the addition of "instant food packages" to takeaways to ensure consumers' right to know.
