Convenience Food | Food-to-Go industry

The Convenience Food / Food-to-Go sector covers a variety of highly processed and prepared foods, whether they are frozen, chilled, baked or unbaked. This includes products such as ready meals or ready-to-eat meals, soups, wraps, pizzas, burritos, pies, salads, sushi, sandwiches and sauces.

Challenges in this field

Some challenges found within this field include:

• Large amount of processing and production of the food product, which increase the chance of stainless steel contamination caused by processing and packaging machine failure
•  
• Use of metallized film or aluminium foil to pack products for freshness and quality
•  
• Multiple elements or ingredients packaged in different compartments in ready meals, which include additional items like cutlery or sauces, which can have high salt content
•  
• Increase in private label manufacture, requiring food manufacturers to be serving multiple retailers with multiple products
•  
• Smaller portion sizes, leading to lightweight and difficult to handle packaging
