Ready to Eat

Ready-to-eat (RTE) foods are pre-prepared meals or food products that require minimal to no cooking before consumption. These include packaged meals, snacks, and frozen dishes, designed for quick and convenient eating. Often found in supermarkets, RTE foods cater to busy lifestyles by offering an easy solution for meals with little preparation time. They range from salads and sandwiches to fully cooked curries, pastas, and rice dishes.
