To be fair, frozen meals are not designed to be restaurant-level quality, or even homemade quality. Frozen meals are made for people who don't have the time to cook and hopefully, it's just a once-in-a-while emergency meal.

@@Lifeofward151 Can't really refute this as there seems to be no evidence for it either way in the articles that came out about it at the time. Happy to have a look if you have a source other than the original reports from a few journalists. Obviously sous vide and boil in the bag are different things so if it was true that would be deceptive. It wouldn't really counter the fact that catering company food was being brought in and sold at that size a mark up. Or that they were using frozen produce when Ramsey goes off at so many other places for doing that but it would be worth noting.
