Smart shelf-life label
"Nestlé is integrating a smart food label from Timestrip into a food product package this spring. The chemistry-based label indicates whether a perishable packaged food is still good to eat. From Food Production Daily:
"The adoption of Timestrip's smart-label technology is an exciting packaging development that we are confident will deliver a meaningful point of differentiation for our products by assisting restaurants and caterers to manage their perishable foods with confidence and ease," said Mike Carter, Nestlé's innovations manager.
"Applied to product packaging and factory activated, Timestrips can augment the existing range and multitude of static dates that are provided in an inconsistent format on the product," the company stated.
