Packaged meals
Packaged meals are pre-prepared food options that are assembled, processed, and packaged for convenient consumption. They often include ready-to-eat or easy-to-prepare dishes, such as frozen dinners, canned soups, or lunch packs, designed for quick serving and portability. These meals typically contain a combination of ingredients, preservatives, and flavorings to ensure safety, flavor, and a longer shelf life. They are popular for their convenience, saving time on cooking and preparation, though they may vary in nutritional value depending on their ingredients and processing methods.
