Challenges and Solutions for Prepared Dish Labeling

Heading

Under the influence of the epidemic, more and more consumers choose to return to home cooking from eating out.

 

However, with modern people living a fast-paced life, it is always difficult to choose between healthy eating and convenient eating.

 

" A dish in five minutes, a soup in eight minutes, a prepared dish that can be served with simple processing, has become the daily choice of many consumers.

 

For merchants and even chain catering enterprises, high-speed food preparation efficiency and excellent food quality control also make prepared dishes the choice of many restaurant chain brands.

 

According to reliable data, it is expected that in the next 3-5 years, the scale of China's prepared dishes is expected to rise year by year with a rapid growth trend of about 20%, and will reach 516.5 billion yuan in 2023.

 

Prepared dishes are usually packaged in the form of soft packets, and the label is an important window for consumers to learn about prepared dishes, production dates, condiments or food additives.

 

Especially in recent years, the news about the safety of prepared dishes has emerged in an endless stream, and it has become an important topic for prepared dish enterprises to give consumers clear labels and dish processing instructions.

 

Therefore, the label used for prepared dishes, even in the face of cold chain storage, oil pollution and even in the cooking process of prepared dishes, needs to be able to clearly present information to consumers, so that consumers can eat at ease, so that enterprises can avoid food safety risks, and help protect the last line of defense of prepared dishes.

 

Generally in the field of prepared dishes, the labeling application usually faces the following challenges:

 

Low-temperature environment:

The production environment of prefabricated vegetables may face the test of low temperature and even zero temperature, and some labels may not be able to firmly stick with the flexible packaging of prefabricated vegetables in the low-temperature environment.

 

At the same time, in the process of cold chain transportation, the prefabricated dish label may also face problems such as dropping the label and warping the label.

 

High-temperature environment:

During the processing of prepared vegetables, high temperatures will be experienced, such as cooking or microwave heating, and even boiling water.

Traditional heat-sensitive materials are prone to blackening at high temperatures, leading to darkening of labels and fading of writing.

 

Oily environment:

Prepared vegetable packaging often comes into contact with kitchen oil, which challenges the durability of labels.

 

To meet the above challenges, FuMing has the following targeted solutions:
