Hunter's comment

We all have heard of RFID, but MIT's new RFIQ stickers made for food are designed specifically to report food quality and safety data on a per minute basis. Damn MIT, I see you!


"As different materials absorb different amounts of the tags' electromagnetic frequencies, you can use a reader to spot changes in response signals and identify food contamination. If a foodstuff dries out, for instance, you'd notice a different signal than when it was still moist."-source

Of course safety is their #1 objective, but i think this is really interesting when it comes to food WASTE as well, since plenty of items are thrown out based on how they look even though they are perfectly fine to eat.

This sticker would perhaps work on perishable foods only? It does not look like it will work on packaged food. That does not mean it is not a cool technology though as perishable foods are the ones likely to harbour pathogens as they undergo spoilage.

Check out the video they actually have a system for things in bottles and other packages. :)

Wow if this is deploy in most eateries and supermarkets it will be great and it will be so good to have it on can beverages which are hard to tell when they’ve gone bad

A great tech indeed...If these kind of food tags become more common, i see the cases of food poisoning becoming less frequent...
MIT indeed nailed it!!!!'Superb find @dayleeo

thanks xabi :)

Thats like a barcode right, tho barcodes are made by GS1 protocol which OriginTrail (TRAC) has a business partnership with. OriginTrail is a protocol based blockchain project which can get along any supply chain. They recently just published their October report which also consist their business development with GS1.
