Intelligent packaging detects meat quality

An EU-funded consortium comprising European associations, research centres and SMEs developed an accurate, non-destructive and cost-effective method for determining the quality and shelf life of packaged meat.

Meat is a fragile product and its quality may be affected by any mistakes in its processing, packaging, distribution or at the point of sale. Failure to detect a pathogen will influence consumers’ perception of the product, thereby having a negative impact on the meat industry.
