预制菜定义之争：罗永浩与西贝激辩引发公众热议

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing public debate between Luo Yonghao and Xibei regarding whether certain food items qualify as pre-prepared dishes has garnered significant public attention [3]. Definition and Characteristics of Pre-prepared Dishes - Pre-prepared dishes, also known as pre-prepared meals, primarily consist of one or more edible agricultural products and their derivatives, which may or may not include seasonings, but must not contain preservatives [3]. - These products undergo industrial pre-processing, including mixing, marinating, shaping, frying, baking, boiling, and steaming, resulting in pre-packaged meals that may or may not come with seasoning packets [3]. - Consumers are required to heat or fully cook these products before consumption [3][4]. Exclusions from Pre-prepared Dishes - Foods that have only undergone basic processing such as washing, peeling, and cutting, without cooking, are classified as edible agricultural products and do not fall under the category of pre-prepared dishes [3]. - Common staple foods like frozen noodles, convenience foods, boxed meals, and various types of bread and sandwiches are explicitly excluded from the definition of pre-prepared dishes [3]. - Additionally, products produced by central kitchen models for use solely within the same restaurant chain, such as fresh or semi-finished dishes, are subject to food safety regulations but are not classified as pre-prepared dishes [3]. Heating and Cooking Requirements - It is emphasized that pre-prepared dishes must be heated or cooked before consumption, where "heating" refers to reheating already pre-cooked products to a consumable state, and "cooking" involves further processing to ensure the dish is fully cooked [4].
