Fresher than Fresh: It takes more than just freezing to produce frozen food; the ingredients also have to be properly prepared and processed first. Fish, for instance, have to be cleaned and gutted, and shao-mai and pao-tzu (Chinese buns) have to be stuffed and cooked. All the work is completed in the plant.
「冷凍食品」並非僅僅把食物冰凍起來，而是要將食物原料經徹底洗淨，再施以適度處理，例如魚去掉頭和內臟等；有些食品則經過調理、烹煮，如冷凍燒賣、包子，製作過程都在工廠內完成。
