Conditioned meat products refer to non-instant meat products made of livestock and poultry meat as the main raw material, twisted or cut, added with seasonings and other auxiliary materials, and processed by rolling, stirring, seasoning or preheating.

Conditioned meat products need to be stored, transported and sold under refrigeration or freezing conditions, and they need to be processed twice before eating. Common prepared meat products include meat and blood, chicken fillet, reconstituted steak, salted chicken nuggets and Orleans chicken wings. Because the prepared meat products are pretreated and only need to be heated before eating, they are various and nutritious, so they are very popular with consumers.

Precautions for purchasing and eating cooked meat:

First, the procurement should be in the fermentation stage, and the cold chain should pay attention to the prepared meat products. According to the different storage conditions, it can be divided into refrigerated prepared meat products (stored at 0-4℃) and frozen prepared meat products (stored below-18℃).

Cold chain is an important condition to ensure the quality of its products. When purchasing, consumers should try to choose large supermarkets and farmers' markets with relatively sound cold chain systems to avoid buying frozen prepared meat products with excessive juice seepage and frozen prepared meat products with more frost in their bags after thawing and softening.

Second, the food should be eaten as soon as possible and the preservation should be properly adjusted. Some microorganisms will still survive or grow slowly under cold storage or freezing conditions, and the nutrition and edible quality of products will gradually decline. Consumers should process and eat as soon as possible within the warranty period. Frozen prepared meat products, especially those coated with flour, will obviously reduce the crispness of the products after thawing and freezing again.

Therefore, in order to ensure the taste of products and reduce secondary pollution, repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided. The prepared meat products should be stored in strict accordance with the storage conditions marked on the product label to avoid eating bulging or smelly products. Whether it is refrigerated or frozen meat products, if they are not eaten immediately, it is recommended to put them in the freezer.
