Xinhua News Agency reports that the national standards for pre-made dishes are open for public consultation, clearly defining pre-made dishes and strengthening management of all aspects including raw materials, production and operation, storage, transportation, packaging, and labeling. It also encourages catering service providers to independently specify their food processing methods based on their actual business practices. This public consultation on the national standards puts the rules in the sunlight. The draft clarifies terminology, mandates the prohibition of preservatives, strictly controls the types of food additives, and sets a maximum shelf life of 12 months. These authoritative guidelines ensure that the pre-made dish industry no longer operates chaotically, and industry standards will develop in an orderly manner with a “navigation system.” (Xinhua News Agency)
