The exhibited products cover multiple categories such as health foods, functional drinks, and medicated diet pre-cooked dishes, reflecting the Traditional Chinese Medicine health cultivation concept of "treating before illness" (Zhi Wei Bing). The application achievements of modern processing technologies in this field will become the focus of the display, such as breakthroughs in low-temperature extraction, molecular distillation, and other processes in terms of preserving active ingredients.
During the expo, multiple professional forums will be held, inviting Traditional Chinese Medicine experts to interpret the standard system of medicine and food homology and analyze industry policy trends.
