A clean vegetable processing enterprise needed to obtain the following qualifications: food production license, hygiene license, food safety management system certification, business license, food business license, food circulation license, and health certificate. These certificates and qualifications were necessary to ensure the safety and compliance of the clean vegetable processing process.
The difference between prepared vegetables and clean vegetables was the degree of processing and the way they were used. Clean vegetables referred to vegetables that had been washed, cut, and other simple processes. They could be eaten directly or cooked without additional processing. Prefabricated dishes were finished or semi-finished dishes that had been pre-processed or pre-cooked. After packaging, they were stored, transported, and sold at room temperature, under cold or frozen conditions. They could be eaten directly or after simple cooking. There was a wide variety of prepared dishes, including ready-to-eat food, ready-to-heat food, ready-to-cook food, and ready-to-serve food. Clean dishes paid more attention to maintaining the freshness and nutrition of the raw materials, while prepared dishes paid more attention to convenience and time-saving.
The prospects of clean vegetable delivery were broad. As people paid more attention to food safety and health, clean vegetable delivery could meet the needs of consumers for high-quality, safe and healthy food. The clean vegetable delivery model had a convenient way of purchasing and delivery, as well as the added value of clean vegetable processing, which was very popular among young consumers. In addition, the market scope of clean vegetable delivery was expanding, from coastal to inland, from first-tier cities to second-tier and third-tier cities. However, the clean vegetable distribution industry also faced some challenges, such as fierce market competition, high operating costs, logistics and distribution costs, etc. The relevant departments needed to strengthen policy support and supervision to promote the healthy and orderly development of clean vegetable distribution. In summary, clean vegetable delivery had prospects, but it needed to overcome difficulties and challenges to achieve sustainable development.
The clean dish delivery platform was a business model that provided the delivery service of clean dishes (semi-finished dishes) through an online platform. Through these platforms, users could choose and order the dishes they needed, and then the platform would deliver the semi-finished dishes to the location specified by the user. This delivery model was designed to solve the time-consuming and annoying problem of urban white-collar workers in the cooking process, and to provide users with convenient, clean, and reasonably priced exquisite dinners. The clean vegetable delivery platform usually worked with farms and bases to ensure the quality and safety of the ingredients. Some platforms also offered innovative services, such as intelligent recommendations of clean dishes that suited the user's taste and online chef answering services. At present, there were many clean vegetable distribution platforms in the market, such as Onion Daren, Jiangsu Heyu Liangshu, Nanchang Honghong Clean Vegetables Delivery Market, etc. These platforms provide users with more convenient, safer, and healthier food choices through efficient logistics and strict quality control mechanisms.
The domestic clean vegetable industry started late, but benefited from the rich raw materials of fruits and vegetables and the huge consumer market, it developed rapidly. With the continuous improvement of the processing technology and preservation technology of clean vegetables, the clean vegetable industry had gradually developed from the primary processing of hairy vegetables in the 1980s to the realization of clean vegetables entering the city in 2000. Clean dishes were popular among consumers because of their time-saving, convenient and sanitary characteristics. At present, the clean vegetable processing enterprises were constantly introducing advanced cutting, preservation, packaging and other technical equipment to improve the quality and shelf life of the clean vegetable products. In addition, some enterprises also realized order production and cold chain logistics distribution to ensure that the fresh vegetables reached the end consumers. The clean vegetable industry was expected to continue its rapid growth. As consumers 'pursuit of food safety, convenience, and healthy lifestyle increased, the clean vegetable market would further expand. In the future, the clean dish industry would pay more attention to personalised and differentiated services, providing more diverse dish combinations and nutritional packages for consumers to choose from. At the same time, the clean vegetable processing enterprises would strengthen cooperation with the upstream planting bases and implement a quality tracing system from farmland to dining table to ensure the safety and quality of the clean vegetables.
There were a few benefits to having a clean dish on the market: 1. Reduce kitchen waste: Clean vegetables are vegetables that have been removed from the inedible part. Eating clean vegetables can reduce a large amount of pre-meal kitchen waste. This was very effective for the pre-classification of kitchen waste. 2. Fresh-keeping treatment, the quality of the vegetables is guaranteed: After the clean vegetables are cut, washed, disinfected and other processing operations, the freshness of the vegetables can be maintained, and the quality and quality of the vegetables can be improved. 3. Promotion of waste reduction at the source: The listing of clean vegetables is an important measure for the city to reduce the amount of waste. It can significantly reduce the city's carbon footprint and contribute to waste sorting and environmental protection. 4.

In general, the implementation of clean vegetables on the market had a positive impact on reducing the amount of garbage, improving food safety, promoting agricultural development, and improving the quality of life.
Beijing City was promoting the listing of clean vegetables. According to relevant reports, the Beijing City Bureau of Commerce and the Bureau of Agriculture and Village issued guidance, focusing on production, sales, packaging and other aspects to promote the listing of clean vegetables in an all-round way, aiming to reduce the total amount of garbage. The listing of clean vegetables was gradually promoted in stages. In the early stage, it was mainly organized and carried out in agricultural production enterprises, agricultural product wholesale markets, chain supermarkets and other agricultural product circulation enterprises. By strengthening the construction of clean vegetable bases and processing enterprises, developing leading enterprises in fresh-cut vegetables, promoting green reduction and recycling packaging, and guiding residents 'consumption habits, we will gradually reduce the source of agricultural waste. It was reported that the Beijing Xinfadi agricultural products wholesale market could reduce the amount of fruit and vegetable waste produced by 20% every day, and could reduce more than 7000 tons of garbage throughout the year. The implementation of the listing of clean vegetables was aimed at regulating the production and circulation of agricultural products and improving the level of domestic waste classification in the city. At present, clean vegetables had achieved some results in Beijing, but there were still some problems, such as the difficulty of changing consumer habits and the high price of clean vegetables. However, through the large-scale entry of clean vegetables into Beijing from more places, producers, shippers, and operators could reduce costs through healthy competition, giving benefits to consumers, and promoting clean vegetables into thousands of households.
The companies that promoted the listing of clean vegetables in Beijing include Beijing Kangyipin Agricultural Logistics Co., Ltd., Beijing City Yunong High-Quality Agricultural Production Planting Co., Ltd., Beijing Tian 'an Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., Beijing Kang' an Lifeng Agriculture Co., Ltd., Yuanzhi Agricultural Technology (Beijing) Co., Ltd., Beijing Four Seasons Shunxin Food Co., Ltd., Beijing Yongsheng Garden Agricultural Planting Center, Beijing Lvfulong Agriculture Co., Ltd., Beijing Xifeng Chunyu Agricultural Technology Development Co., Ltd.
