French term or phrase: les produits service
"Parmi les principales tendances du marché en matière d'innovation figurent praticité avec des produits faciles et rapides à utiliser et les ***produits service*** (produits élaborés), comme les mélanges prêts à l'emploi (grâce au procédé IQF), les disques de fruits prêts à poser sur les fonds de tarte, les coulis présentés dans des flacons souples munis d'un bouchon verseur et des purées de fruits en plaquettes ou en billes."

Is there a specific word? Thanks in advance.

agree  Tony M: Yes --- could we say 'convenience products', by analogy with 'convenience foods' (but here, intended for catering professionals, perhaps?)
