Precooked Frozen Foods

Abstract

Prepared frozen foods—products which have been either cooked or converted into a processed or convenience item—are the giant products of the industry. So vast has this frozen food segment become, that, for purposes of statistical grouping, French-fried potatoes and the family of kindred products, potato puffs, rissole potatoes, hash browns, and other variants (which quite obviously are prepared and precooked foods) are usually included with regular vegetables. Products such as breaded shrimp, fish sticks and fish portions have been classed as seafoods.
