Convenience food refers to food products that are pre-packaged or processed, designed for quick and easy preparation with minimal time and effort.

Within the category of convenience foods, there is a diverse range, including ready-to-eat meals, frozen dinners, canned soups, instant noodles, microwaveable snacks, and pre-cut vegetables. To extend shelf life and preserve quality, these foods typically undergo processing such as cooking, freezing, drying, and packaging. While convenience foods offer the benefit of saving time and simplifying meal preparation, they come with certain trade-offs. To enhance flavor and prolong preservation, these foods may contain increased levels of preservatives, additives, sodium, and sugar. These additives are employed to maintain the taste and quality of the products but may contribute to nutritional concerns.
