Two-Year Shelf Life for Kids’ Meal Broccoli Sparks Debate—Xibei Responds: Compliance with National Standards Is Key

Recently, following Luo Yonghao’s outspoken criticism of Xibei’s high-priced pre-cooked meals, public discussion has continued to intensify. Among the hottest topics is the revelation that Xibei’s kids’ meals use frozen broccoli with a shelf life of up to two years—sparking widespread debate.

In response to growing public concern, Phoenix Net’s Storm Eye team visited a Xibei outlet yesterday to investigate further. During the visit, the restaurant’s head chef addressed the issue, and his remarks quickly climbed the trending list on Weibo.

Speaking to Phoenix Finance, the head chef explained that storage times and processing methods vary depending on the ingredient. Factors such as production processes, freshness, and required storage temperatures all influence the shelf life. He emphasized that as long as the products meet national standards, they are acceptable—and reassured that all packaging is traceable through organic codes.
