Tip: Buy "prefabricated dishes" to remember four aspects

Although prefabricated dishes are convenient and fast, the reporter's interview found that whether it is safe and healthy is the main concern of citizens. After the 90s, Chen Qing had a lot of concerns about prefabricated dishes. Cold chain transportation is particularly important for prefabricated dishes. When she recently received the prefabricated dishes from online shopping, many frozen ingredients are already semi -frozen. "I wanted to buy a few more packages and put it in the refrigerator and eat slowly. Now it seems that it is best to buy it with food, otherwise the product will be freezing and thawing, which will affect the taste."
