Using Patches in or on packages containing food and drinks to indicate the integrity of the product. By a simple easy to read colour indicator placed on a product could potentially eliminate disease outbreaks and serious illnesses. After a recent recall of a national fermented tea producer due to the varying conditions during transport the fermentation process continued within the container and was sold as a Non-alcoholic product containing as much as 3% Alcohol. A simple indicator on the lid could have prevented the consumption by underage people and limited the costs involved of a large-scale recall. Also the recent Salmonella outbreak in pre packed lettuce could have been avoided with an integrity seal. Pre packed meats with a temperature reacting seal could save lives. This technology is inevitable to guarantee the safe consumption of product contained for days weeks and months within a container and having no way of examining the product prior to consumption.1 A Simple patch indicating weather or not certain contaminants are present such as alcohol. For Non Alcoholic beverages to ensure it is within guidelines Applied to fresh produce to detect Salmonella or mold. K One patch being controlled and one patch being exposed to the product. A differential in colour will Catiour show if the product has altered in any way.
