Xining, September 9 (Li Jun) On the 21st, the reporter interviewed Wang Jingwu, director of the Physical Health Literature and Art Division of the Qinghai Provincial Department of Education, with the question of whether Qinghai Province has "prefabricated dishes into campus", he said: After the preliminary investigation of the Qinghai Provincial Market Supervision Administration and the recent preliminary investigation of the Qinghai Provincial Department of Education, there are currently no prefabricated vegetable production enterprises with relevant qualifications in Qinghai Province, nor are there distribution enterprises, and schools in the province have not found the use of prefabricated vegetables.
Prepared dishes, also known as prepared prepared foods, generally refer to large-scale prepared vegetable factories, processing ingredients and auxiliary materials into semi-finished products or packaged products, and then selling them ex-factory. Typically prepared dishes need to be stored or transported under cold chain conditions for consumers or food and beverage processors, simply heated or cooked.
"In fact, the cost of pre-made dishes is relatively high, unless there are a large number of people, and the wholesale market batch production can compress the cost, but for schools in Qinghai, it will be more cost-effective to invite 'masters' and staff from the perspective of cost accounting, because the cost is too high, catering enterprises in the province are not willing to do pre-made dishes." Wang Jingwu said.
