广州当局周三发布早茶遗产保护新规，自5月1日起生效，要求茶楼明确标示点心是否采用传统现场制作方法。该规定引发香港关于类似餐饮做法透明度的讨论。 餐饮界议员Jonathan Leung Chun表示，此举引发必要辩论，但需区分“中央厨房”与“预制餐食”。
广州当局于周三（4月1日前后）发布早茶遗产保护新规，自5月1日起生效。该规定要求经营者明确标示点心菜肴是否采用传统现场制作方法，或使用非传统手段。
新规还规定，传统制作点心从生产到消费须在24小时内完成，以维护非物质文化遗产。
此举在香港引发辩论，并呼吁提高类似餐食制作透明度。餐饮界议员Jonathan Leung Chun表示，虽然广州新规引发香港必要讨论，但不应将“中央厨房”与“预制餐食”混为一谈，后者对本地行业不公。
Leung Chun指出，香港大型餐饮集团高峰期多用中央厨房进行标准化预处理，如切片和调味，以确保品质和卫生。“这不过是餐厅自家厨房的延伸，并非手艺的终结，与工厂加工冷冻即食餐有显著区别，”他说。“我们必须澄清这一区别，方能准确评估手工点心的存续。”
