Processed food products are cuts of plain meat that are further prepared, typically with the addition of other ingredients including sauces, marinades, seasoning, breading/batter, etc. Processed foods can be in both RTC and RTE form.
RTC foods are products that have been processed up to semi-cooked status, but which require actual cooking, e.g., baking in an oven, deep frying in oil, stir-frying, grilling, or any other method to make the food fully-cooked before it is ready to be consumed.
RTE or cooked foods are products that have a high degree of readiness in terms of eating condition. They generally require no heating or only minor reheating steps, e.g., adding hot water, toasting, microwaving, etc.
Our processed foods portfolio primarily consists of processed livestock, aquaculture, sausage and RTE products and other processed foods, whether in frozen processed, chilled processed, cooked and semi-cooked form, that are sold under the CP brand and other brands within the CPF Group. We sell processed foods that are manufactured at processing plants owned by the CPF Group.
