According to media reports,Xibein's Luo Yonghao's questioning of the use of pre-prepared dishes sparked heated public opinion. Founder Jia Guolong publicly responded that "Xibei has 100% no pre-prepared dishes" and announced that stores across the country would open kitchen tours to prove his innocence.However, some netizens discovered thatThe outer packaging of the sea bass used by Xibei is marked as "quick-frozen prepared food" with a shelf life of up to 18 months, which immediately raised questions about "is this still fresh?"
According to the "Letter from All Xibei Partners to Customers" published on Xibei's official Weibo, the main raw material of the garlic grilled fish ordered by Luo Yonghao and his party was this kind of sea bass.
The head chef of a Xibei Noodle Village in Xi'an confirmed that sea bass is indeed a semi-finished product that is processed uniformly by the central kitchen and distributed to various stores. The 18-month shelf life is true. The chef explained: "The central kitchen uses cold-fresh technology, which is a semi-finished product, but we bake it fresh."
