Q: What is a serving size?
A: The serving size, or portion, of a food product or meal is regulated by the FDA and the USDA to ensure that nutritional labels are consistent and easy to read from product to product. A serving size is defined as the amount of a food product or meal that has been deemed as usual or recommended for an average adult, unless indicated otherwise for children. The weight, volume or unit of measurement for a serving size should be indicated on the packaging.
Cooking

Q: If I don’t have a microwave, can I prepare your products on the stove or in the oven?
A: Tai Pei entrees (12-14.2 oz) were designed to be prepared in the microwave. Tai Pei Skillet Meals (24 oz) were designed to be prepared either in a skillet or the microwave.
Q: Do you have any tips for heating your products in the microwave?
A: Read the directions on the package before beginning. Remember that microwave ovens vary in their rate of cooking. Compact ovens may heat more slowly than full-size ovens. Use the heating time given on the food package as a guide.
Q: Do I have to defrost your product before cooking?
A: It is not necessary to defrost our products prior to cooking. Our meals and appetizers were created with the ease and convenience of our consumers in mind. Therefore, they can go directly from the freezer to the heating process.
Allergens
Q: Do your products contain allergens?
A: Our products may contain allergens. However, if a common allergen is an ingredient in our food, it will be listed on the ingredient statement even if it appears in small quantities. We are also available to answer any questions that will help consumers decide which products are best for them.
