The sensor will turn blue when oxygen enters the interior causing food to deteriorate. This will allow the food consumed to be additive-free, less processed and safe for the consumer. IATA researchers in collaboration with the company Juan and Juan Industrial, S.L.U., belonging to the Vicky Foods Group, have developed a sensor to introduce it into food packaging in a totally safe way, in order to provide information on the state of the product to consumers. This will allow us to consume less...
