In 2007, the state issued the "Hygienic Standard for Quick-frozen Rice Pasta", stipulating that since June 2007, bulk dumplings and glutinous rice balls will no longer be allowed to be sold in supermarkets. This policy is conducive to the full play of brand advantages and provides an opportunity for industry integration. On the other hand, the high-end product segment is rising rapidly, and leading companies are gradually shifting their strategic focus to the high-end market.
