I changed the preview of my .ai file to pixel preview, but the resolution seems to be very low it appears highly pixellated, I tried to change it from Effects> Document rastor effects settings> 300ppi. But nothing happened it's still pixellated. What should I do?

I just figured out that you can change back to normal view with the combination of Alt gr+Y. Hope you did solve this problem in the meantime, however.

What is the size of your document? If not, what is your end goal?

Are you creating a file for a specific size screen image?

Say you are creating a banner for a webpage thats's 1200 pixels by 600 pixels... Pixel preview will show you the end result of your artwork when rendered to those pixel dimensions. It's pixelated because that's exactly what will happen!

It's actually a print file for package design and the size is 250mm x 190mm, I want it to be high res in pixel preview, because when I import the artwork to Adobe Dimension to make a mockup it appears the same when I view on pixel preview, I am not able to read any typography at this much pixellation.

Like this for example

Sorry I forgot to mention, the nutritional value is only a part of the document. I cannot show the full document as there are some information that I'm not supposed to show.

Your screen shot seems to show something being previewed at 170 x 290 pixels
If it's 30 mm x 52 mm, that corresponds to about 144 ppi.
This makes the body text under 2mm high - about 6 point - which may be too small even for small print!
So I think the pixel preview is warning you that you do have a problem (which is what it is for..)
Have you tried viewing a printout at design size?
