Pre-cooked Meal are also called 3R foods (Ready to Cook, Ready to Heat, Ready to Eat), which are ready-to-cook, heat-to-eat, and ready-to-eat.
Due to the busy schedule consumers have, pre-cooked meals have increased in popularity over the past years. While the western world is the greatest consumer of these products, this trend has spread around the world, and there’s no sign of it stopping any time soon. These pre-cooked meals can come fresh or frozen and be purchased in stores or conveniently delivered directly to consumers. Pre-cooked meals are able to offer the same nutrition, variety, and quality of food one would expect from a home-cooked meal without the consumer having to sacrifice their time to cook from scratch every day.
The packaging for this type of meal needs to provide protection during shipment, be carefully sealed to prevent outside contaminants and preserve freshness, and come in microwave- or oven-safe containers for an easy reheating process. Unlike General food packaging, specific materials are necessary for Pre-cooked meals.
