Chilled ready meals are largely regarded as a convenience food as they contain prepared meals that require only heating before consumption. These meals are primarily packaged in specific ready meal containers, which are typically microwave-safe plastic tubs with a plastic top that consumers are required to pierce before heating. In addition, these meals typically feature an outer packaging layer to keep the ready meal container protected from the effects of the environment.
