On March 17, the China Food and Nutrition Development Outline (2025–2030), jointly issued by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, the National Health Commission, and the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, was officially released. It explicitly highlights promoting healthy cooking methods, strengthening long-term foundational monitoring of food and nutritional health, and guiding households in scientific meal preparation.
During this year's "Two Sessions," the ongoing advancement of the "Weight Management Year" emerged as a hot topic in discussions on public health. In fact, the National Health Commission launched a three-year "Weight Management Year" initiative in 2024 to shift the focus from "treating diseases" to "preventing them"—reflecting the urgent demand among China's 1.4 billion people for scientific dietary practices. Healthy dietary management varies from person to person, and with the rapid development of AI technology, personalized nutrition management is now becoming feasible for millions of households for the first time.
On March 20, at the 2025 Appliance & Electronics World Expo (AWE) in Shanghai, wan AIChef made its global debut with a futuristic launch event, introducing the wan AiOS 1.0 Organizational Hyper-Intelligent System—an AI-powered solution designed to help households worldwide achieve personalized health management, from health assessments and dietary recommendations to instant ingredient delivery, one-step cooking, and nutritional summaries. The milestone was witnessed by industry experts, including Ren Fazheng, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering and Dean of the China Agricultural University Institute of Nutrition and Health, and Ma Jinnan, Chief Operating Officer and Executive Editor-in-Chief of TMTPost.
AI Breaks Through Dietary Management Challenges: Debut of wan AiOS to Create a Family Nutrition Guardian
At the launch event, He Jianfeng, Marketing Director of wan AIChef, elaborated on the capabilities of the wan AiOS 1.0 Organizational Hyper-Intelligent System. As the "intelligent brain" of wan AIChef ultra, the AI-powered cooking system, wan AiOS enables personalized health monitoring. It scans a user's face in just 10 seconds to obtain 6+ key health metrics, including blood oxygen levels, heart rate, and more.
AI Unlocks Personalized Nutrition: wan AiOS Debuts as Your In-Home Dietary Health Manager
By integrating user-uploaded health data such as medical reports, wan AiOS generates customized 7-day meal plans tailored to individual needs. The system also produces daily calorie intake charts while tracking real-time consumption of proteins, fats, and other nutrients.
With these personalized recipes, users can simply place one-click orders to have fresh ingredients delivered to their doorstep. According to He Jianfeng, wan AIChef has partnered with premium food producers and supply platforms to ensure precise ingredient sourcing with full traceability, guaranteeing freshness, safety, and accuracy for every delivery.
For the final cooking step, users only need to place pre-prepped ingredients into the wan AIChef ultra smart cooking system. Equipped with a 12-megapixel camera and the proprietary Tiancu Recognition System, it automatically identifies ingredients and selects the optimal cooking method to deliver healthy, authentic dishes.
He emphasized that this end-to-end process—from health assessment and meal planning to smart ingredient delivery, one-touch cooking, and nutrition tracking—creates a fully intelligent closed-loop system. It not only simplifies personalized nutrition management for households but also enables long-term monitoring of dietary health. Notably, the wan AIChef ultra integrated with wan AiOS was awarded the AWE 2025 Gold Innovation Prize, the highest honor in China’s home appliance industry, underscoring its groundbreaking technology.
From Lab to Kitchen: The Evolution of AI’s "Sense of Taste"
If wan AiOS acts as a family’s private health advisor, the wan AIChef ultra and its exclusive AI Zhurong Large Model transform personalized recipes into delicious realities.
Since its launch on August 28 last year, the first 1,000 units of wan AIChef ultra have been delivered, with cooking algorithms further refined based on user feedback. The AI Zhurong model has mastered recipes from over 1,000 top chefs through millions of training iterations, ensuring authentic flavors in every dish.
Powered by Zhurong, wan AIChef ultra supports multi-functional cooking (steaming, boiling, roasting, frying, etc.) and continuously recommends new personalized recipes based on user history, enabling endless culinary possibilities and autonomous evolution.
To perfect cooking results, the system incorporates 4D Hyper-Sensory Temperature Control, automatically adjusting heat to ensure ideal temperatures for diverse ingredients—from crisp broccoli to tender ribs—all in one pot.
"Technology shouldn’t be a privilege for the few, but a tool for every household. All our complex innovations aim to make cooking effortless," said He Jianfeng, highlighting wan AIChef’s mission to deliver health, convenience, and abundance in every kitchen.
Redefining the Food Ecosystem: The Kitchen as a Hub for Innovation
During a roundtable discussion at the event, industry leaders explored the strategic impact of AI-driven dietary ecosystems. In wan AIChef’s vision, end-to-end AI cooking will revolutionize three key areas:
-
Precision Nutrition – Bridging health data with personalized meal solutions.
-
Sustainable Supply Chains – Traceable, eco-friendly ingredient networks.
-
Culinary Democratization – Professional-grade cooking made accessible to all.
By merging AI, IoT, and culinary science, wan AIChef is poised to transform kitchens into the heart of a smarter, healthier food future.
First: Building a Smart Kitchenware Ecosystem - The AIoT-powered Closed-loop System for Health & Nutrition
The newly launched Wan AiOS system and wan AIChef ultra smart cooking system demonstrate how wan AIChef has integrated cooking hardware, AI models and user needs through AIoT technology to form a comprehensive closed-loop solution.
Second: Creating a Chef's World - A Shared Platform for Recipe Creation and Trading
This platform enables users, professional chefs and food service businesses to collaboratively create and trade recipes. Participants can upload recipes to earn rewards or sell them directly, while also accessing other recipes for free or purchase - forming an ecosystem of "celebrity chef sharing + user co-creation".
Third: Reconstructing the Food Supply Chain - Traceable from Farm to Table
Through partnerships with leading food supply chain providers and delivery platforms like JD Daojia, wan AIChef is building a traceable supply chain that connects farms directly to dining tables. By developing standardized fresh ingredient packages, this model ensures food safety while efficiently meeting diverse consumer needs, promoting transparency and efficiency across the supply chain.
Through triple innovation in "technology-data-ecosystem,, wan AiOS precisely aligns with the life-cycle nutrition management goals outlined in China's Food and Nutrition Development Outline (2025-2030), capitalizing on policy opportunities during the "Healthy China 2030" strategic period. The system digitally reconstructs household-level nutrition monitoring through AIoT algorithms, creates mass application scenarios for dietary optimization via smart cooking terminals, and builds a strategic bridge between policy objectives and public needs - providing quantifiable, traceable and replicable support for national health strategies.
As Academician Ren Fazheng noted: "AI is the key lever for democratizing dietary health. When applied to household nutrition management, AI can optimize food pairing algorithms to make dietary interventions more targeted and effective. We hope to establish an enterprise-led, industry-academia-research integrated innovation system in this field to support the Healthy China 2030 initiative."
Huo Liyi, General Manager of Shenzhen Wandechu Technology, stated: "When Healthy China 2030 meets the AI cooking revolution, we can finally say: the warmth of technology lies in the steam rising from every home-cooked meal." To make AI health management and smart cooking more accessible, wan AIChef announced an AWE-exclusive "Pay 1,000 to Save 10,000" promotion, where a 1,000 yuan deposit can be redeemed for 10,000 yuan off upon delivery.
