Serving up a "hard dish" in three minutes, and a full feast in half hour... Pre-made meal kits, with their convenience and speed, are becoming the choice for more and more consumers. According to research, the market size of pre meal kits reached 516.5 billion yuan in 2023, a year-on-year increase of 23.1%. This trend in 2024, with the market size expected to further expand, surpassing 560 billion yuan, and possibly reaching the trillion yuan level 2026.

In order to standardize the development of the pre-made meal kit industry, following the joint issuance of the "Notice on Strengthen Food Safety Supervision of Pre-made Meal Kits and Promoting High-Quality Development of the Industry" by the State Administration for Market Regulation and five other departments in this year, the provincial market regulation bureau and five other departments have also issued a notice, putting forward specific requirements for strengthening the entire process of food safety supervision of-made meal kits and promoting high-quality development of the industry.

How to promote the high-quality development of the pre-made meal kit industry in a coordinated manner?

Enh the ability to supply high-quality raw materials. Guiding the construction of high-quality agricultural product production bases and related equipment and facilities in the concentrated areas of agricultural product materials, continuously promoting the construction of the "first workshop", and improving the commodification and standardization level of agricultural product raw materials; guiding agricultural product growers anders to use drugs scientifically, strictly preventing pesticide and veterinary drug residue risks, and ensuring the quality and safety of agricultural product raw materials.Encouraging pre-made kit producers to establish cooperative relationships with new agricultural operating entities such as farmers' cooperatives and family farms to ensure a stable and reliable supply of agricultural product raw.

Improving the level of key technology innovation and research. Encouraging pre-made meal kit companies to jointly conduct research with research institutions on key common technologies such gas regulation preservation, precise preservation, and quality control, focusing on solving the problem of flavor loss; innovating non-thermal processing, microbial control, microcaps encapsulation, and other technological processes to reduce nutrient loss and improve product quality and flavor restoration; encouraging pre-made meal kit companies to use new product packaging materials, the use of packaging materials, and improve packaging strength to prevent over-packaging of food.

Accelerating the application of advanced production technology equipment. Encouraging the of key equipment for pre-processing of agricultural product raw materials, enhancing the level of intelligent and fresh processing of raw materials. Promoting the application of advanced equipment for, packaging, storage, and logistics that are adapted to the development of pre-made meal kits, improving the level of automation of key processes and production and circulation efficiencyCreating a favorable industrial development environment.

Supporting localities to promote the construction of pre-made meal kit industry clusters, implementing centralized and unified management, and improving the agomeration and scale effects. Encouraging related industry associations and industrial alliances to strengthen industry integrity system construction, promote the cultivation of pre-made meal kit brands and play the leading role of large enterprises.

Supporting third-party evaluation activities on the taste, quality, and nutrition of pre-made meal kits to continuously improve consumers' of safety and satisfaction with pre-made meal kits. The production chain of pre-made meal kits is complex and interlinked, from the selection of raw materials to the product, every detail affects the final quality of the product. The computer multi-head combination scale series by Qingdao Ouyade, with its efficient weighing capability and control, ensures the quality of pre-made meal kits.

The production chain of pre-made dishes is complex and interlinked, from the selection of raw materials to the release of finished products, every detail the final quality of the product. The Qingdao Euro-Asian quantitative weighing series computer multi-head combination scale provides strong support for the quantitative combination weighing of pre-made with its efficient weighing capability and precise control technology. Whether it is frozen ingredients or cooking packages, the intelligent high-speed combination scale can achieve continuous output of materials the set weight, ensuring that each finished product meets the weight standard, and laying a solid foundation for the subsequent packaging process.

During the production of pre-made meals, there is always a risk of metal contamination when metal equipment is used for processing or conveying. The Qing OYAD intelligent metal detector, with its high sensitivity and stability, can accurately detect metal contaminants in packaged products and, in conjunction with the rejection device, automatically the substandard products, effectively avoiding food safety issues such as metal pollution.

In addition, the Qingdao Euro-Asian intelligent high-speed checkweigher also plays an important role in the production of pre-made dishes. the production line, it can detect in real time whether the weight of individual products meets the set target, and automatically reject products that do not meet the standards through sorting device, ensuring that the weight and quality of each pre-made dish meet the requirements. This function not only improves production efficiency, but also helps food processing and enterprises avoid the risk of underweight and shortage.

With the continuous expansion of the pre-made meal market and the increasing quality requirements of consumers, Qingdao Ouyade will continue to work hand in with pre-made meal manufacturers to jointly promote the standardization, regularization, and high-quality development of the industry.
