WARSAW, April 17, 2026 / -- As China’s second-largest canned food exporter and a leading provider of convenient foods, Zhangzhou Tan Co., Ltd. (Tancan Food) successfully participated in the 2026 NutraFoodPoland & WorldFoodPoland international food exhibition. Amid the rapid global expansion of the ready-to-eat food market — projected to exceed hundreds of billions of USD by 2026–2027, with Europe showing particularly strong demand for high-quality, no-cook, healthy and functional options — Tancan Food showcased its flagship Ready-To-Eat Fried Rice as a prime example of innovation meeting consumer needs. Jointly organized by NutraFood Poland (Poland’s first and only professional exhibition dedicated to dietary supplements, functional food, natural raw materials, and technology) and WorldFood Poland, the event serves as the premier B2B platform for Central and Eastern Europe’s food sector. Under the theme “Convenient Deliciousness · Shared Globally,” Tancan Food highlighted the seamless fusion of one-second open-and-enjoy innovative packaging with authentic Asian wok hei flavor.

The exhibition took place from April 14–16, 2026, at EXPO XXI Warsaw International Exhibition Centre (12/14 IGNACEGO PRĄDZYŃSKIEGO STR), with opening hours of 10:00–17:00 on April 14–15. Tancan Food’s booth was bustling with visitors who experienced the ultimate convenience of TO RICE Ready-to-Eat Fried Rice. Featuring advanced 24-month shelf-life technology at ambient temperature, the product perfectly preserves the traditional wok hei aroma and fresh nutrition. Visitors learned about its versatile applications: a quick solution for busy urban lifestyles as an office lunch or late-night dinner; an ideal companion for camping, hiking, and outdoor adventures, where simple heating or direct consumption provides a hot, flavorful meal without complicated cooking equipment; and a reliable energy source in harsh environments or emergency rescue operations, delivering essential nutrition within the critical first 72 hours thanks to its long shelf life and portable packaging.

Tancan Food’s Ready-to-Eat Fried Rice is perfectly aligned with the global ready-to-eat trend, which emphasizes convenience, nutrition, and multi-scenario adaptability.

European consumers increasingly seek functional foods that combine speed with quality. TO RICE captures the authentic wok hei — the signature smoky aroma and lively taste of traditional Chinese fried rice — while ensuring every grain is fluffy and well-seasoned. Advanced manufacturing processes retain freshness and nutrition without refrigeration, reducing logistics costs and making it highly suitable for European supermarkets, convenience stores, and outdoor retail channels. This innovation helps “Made in China” convenient foods integrate deeper into Europe’s consumption upgrade wave.

The head of Tancan Food’s export business stated: “NutraFoodPoland & WorldFoodPoland, as a major event in Central and Eastern Europe’s food industry, provided us with an excellent platform. Bringing Ready-To-Eat Fried Rice responds directly to the rapid growth of global convenient functional food trends. European markets show surging demand for high-quality Chinese-style meals that require no cooking — especially in daily routines, outdoor activities, and emergency preparedness. Our innovative products will help ‘Made in China’ convenient foods further integrate into the local consumption upgrade wave.”

The booth also displayed the company’s diverse canned product lines, emphasizing integrated strengths from R&D to export and attracting numerous European buyers for in-depth OEM/ODM discussions. Over the past year, Tancan Food has continuously optimized its supply chain and enhanced global market responsiveness. This participation not only strengthens international partnerships but also injects new momentum into deepening Sino-European food trade.

As Europe’s healthy and convenient food market flourishes, Tancan Food responds to consumer expectations with innovative technology. By integrating global vision with local strengths, the company perfectly combines quality, convenience, and scenario adaptability. TO RICE Ready-to-Eat Fried Rice not only delivers hot, delicious energy during camping trips but also serves as a lifeline in harsh conditions or emergency rescue, leading new trends in convenient foods and writing a new chapter in Chinese food exports.
