Packaged food is food that has been prepared ahead of time and packed to enhance its shelf life. Packaged foods are simple to handle, prepare, and enjoy. They are becoming increasingly popular as urban dwellers in both developed and developing countries find them beneficial.

The bulk of packaged foods are considered convenience foods and are commercially manufactured before being distributed to consumers.
