Prepackaged meals are ready-to-eat food items that come in sealed containers, making them convenient for consumers. These meals are often found in grocery stores and can include a variety of options, such as frozen dinners, microwaveable meals, and meal kits. They are designed to save time and effort in meal preparation. These meals typically have a longer shelf life due to their packaging and preservation methods. Many prepackaged meals cater to different dietary needs, including vegetarian, gluten-free, and low-calorie options, allowing consumers to choose meals that fit their preferences and lifestyles.
