New packaging can warn you when meat has spoiled – Sciworthy
Scientists designed color-changing carbon dot biosensors that can detect spoiled meat in sealed packages in real-time, just in case you don’t trust the sniff-test.
Won’t that affect Walmarts profits? 🙃
Pictured is meat with Kirkland branding, which is Costco’s in-house brand. Better place to shop than walmart already
3 Ribeyes are currently $67 there. You cracked out? Lol
Don’t buy at Wallmart
Guy you can’t say that! Won’t you think of the poor CEO?
options here are 1 corporation that owns a castle and got his balls tickled for decades long price fixing
and walmarts… there is no good options to shop for food until they are removed from the planet
10% off sticker goes brrr
The indicator turns into a “manager’s special”, no need to pay an employee to slap them on anymore
I’ve had a number of occasions where I purchased meat and it was spoiled before the expiration date. At this point, I’m sick of putting my trust in big corporations and am trying to buy more foods produced locally.
As a negative control, they also prepared an identical sealed tray containing only a wet sponge and the biosensor, but no meat. They observed that the biosensors in the pork and mutton trays turned bright yellow after 24 hours, while the one in the beef tray took 36 hours. In contrast, the control biosensor showed no detectable change.
That’s so cool, meat is still gross, but this is unambiguously a fantastic thing for humanity. If it’s actually used, I’d have to imagine the less reliable yet ass covering legal expiration date sticker will always be cheaper. Hope this becomes the new mandated standard, innovations are meaningless in the face of uncaring capitalistism.
All meat is spoiled living animal tissues.
Do you live on a dump?

Cool cool.
leans forward
Now, can it also not persist in the environment for 1000 years after the thing it was packaging has been unpackaged?
