Chinanews client, Beijing, September 20 (Zuo Yukun) The upper body appeared to be listening carefully, and his hands quietly opened the packaging bag in the table hole, and quickly stuffed the snacks into his mouth while the teacher was not paying attention.

  "Internet celebrity food has its own survival space and development trajectory." Food industry analyst Zhu Danpeng told Chinanews.com. At present, China's food industry is mainly divided into three categories: one is China's time-honored brand, and the other is like Nestlé and Wahaha. For more traditional food companies, there is another kind of online celebrity food like spicy strips.

  "But basically, the audience of Internet celebrity food is mainly the new generation. Therefore, with the continuous superposition of the demographic dividend of the entire new generation, the Internet celebrity food also has a growing trend." Zhu Danpeng said.

  In Zhu Danpeng's view, Internet celebrity food has its advantages as well as its shortcomings.

Its advantage lies in novelty, which is an important attribute that it is loved and sought after by the new generation; but many Internet celebrities also have shortcomings in operation, for example, they are basically OEM-based, and their brand precipitation , Cultural genes, and the entire supply chain industry chain is also immature and irregular.

  If you want to upgrade Internet celebrity food to classic products, you need to pass standardized, specialized, branded, capitalized, and large-scale operations.

Six aspects put forward requirements for strengthening the quality and safety supervision of seasoned noodle products.

Spicy strips, once known as "unhealthy", are slowly embarking on a standardized road.

  "The opening of various training courses for Internet celebrity foods is actually to further standardize and specialize, so that its supply chain, operation chain and the entire industrial chain have been better improved. Therefore, my training courses of this type are I very much agree.” Zhu Danpeng predicted that in the next five years, a batch of Internet celebrity foods similar to Heycha should be at the forefront of the brand.
