Governance of food safety in China's pre-made dishes industry: legal reforms, policy strategies, and international perspectives.
Article in Frontiers in nutrition, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
The rapid growth of the pre-made dishes (PMD) industry in China has created new opportunities for rural revitalization and food industry modernization. However, food safety concerns remain a critical challenge, manifested in the absence of a unified standard system, incomplete certification mechanisms, flaws in traceability, and weaknesses in regulatory enforcement. This study conducts an empirical investigation of China's central and local legal documents, complemented by case analysis of recent food safety incidents, to identify the systemic gaps in governance of PMDs. Drawing on macro-, meso-, and micro-level perspectives, we propose a governance framework that integrates compulsory and voluntary standards, multi-stakeholder participation, and digital traceability platforms. Comparative insights from the European Union and the United States further highlight how China's regulatory innovations may contribute to the global discourse on ready-to-eat food safety. The findings suggest that legal and regulatory reform, supported by technology-driven solutions, is essential for ensuring consumer trust and sustainable industry development.
