INTRO
Regardless of what you call them - ready-to-eat,
instant food mix, or heat-and-serve food -
ready-to-eat meals are the most convenient food
items on the market today.Ready-to-eat (RTE)
foods are those foods that do not need any
further processing. These meals are cleaned,
cooked and packaged before they reach retail
shelves. Some varieties might need to only be
heated before they are ready for
consumption.   The shifting lifestyles of
consumers are behind the growing demand for RTE
foods. Since consumers now have less time to
cook, they are on the lookout for food products
that are functionally expedient and portable,
while still being delectably full of flavour.

ADVANTAGES OF RTE FOODS
SAVING TIME - Saving the time and energy expended
in cooking is the most obvious benefit of RTE
foods. This is helpful for many busy people who
dont have the luxury of spending an hour or more
on prepping, serving and eating a meal.
INCREASED CONVENIENCE - RTE foods can be reheated
and consumed at any time of the day or night.
This is particularly beneficial for those who
work late nights or at odd hours.

and they are available at different price points.
SAFETY - RTE foods are quite safe and hygienic as
they are manufactured and packed in
well-protected conditions and processed following
the rules and regulations set by the government.

seal and pack products in a protective atmosphere
also known as Modified Atmosphere Packaging

extract oxygen and carbon dioxide from the air in
the trays, replacing them with nitrogen or mixed
air to ensure that the food does not deteriorate.
The tray is then sealed properly to retain this
gas mixture.
