pre-portioned

Split before serving

Pre-portioned describes food or other materials divided into specific amounts before use or sale.

The term appears most often in diet and meal-prep contexts, where controlling quantity matters: pre-portioned snack packs, pre-portioned ingredients for the recipe.

The hyphen is standard but sometimes dropped.
