Devices and methos for detecting or monitoring the quality of food products

Abstract

Described herein are devices for determining or monitoring the quality of a food product. In one aspect, the devices comprise a pH-sensitive film incorporated within a quick response code, wherein the pH-sensitive film is positioned to be in contact with the food product. The pH-sensitive film produces different colors subject to changes in pH of the food product. The color produced by the pH-sensitive film can then be correlated to the quality of the food product. The quick response code can provide additional information regarding the food product.
