Bulk food is food that is not packaged or is packaged in a relatively simple manner and is usually sold in bulk. This type of food is usually purchased in specific quantities from a food manufacturer or distributor and then dispensed into small bags, jars, or containers for sale as needed. Bulk food can be various types of food such as rice, flour, dried fruits, beans, candies, etc.
Bulk cooked foods, on the other hand, are foods that have been cooked and processed, such as ham, cooked chicken, cooked shrimp, and so on. These foods have been cooked and processed at the food producer or merchant to ensure the safety and taste of the food. Bulk cooked foods are usually sold in bulk and can be ordered by weight according to consumer demand.
The difference is that bulk foods are uncooked foods, while bulk deli foods are cooked and processed foods. In addition, bulk foods generally require consumers to pack their own food or use their own containers, while bulk deli foods are usually portioned by the merchant at the time of purchase. It should also be noted that when purchasing bulk food and bulk cooked food, consumers should pay attention to the packaging and sanitary conditions of the food to ensure food safety.
