Developed by British professor Andrew Mills, this bag stores food and reacts to changes in the food chemicals or the oxygen levels inside the bag. When the those changes reach a certain point, the bag changes color. And if you have yet to open the food in question, it will also change color if its seal has been broken.
The UK government says its citizens waste over 400,000 tons of food a year, nearly 40,000 tons of which was never opened. They estimate this bag could help reduce waste by 8.3 tons in the UK.

This honestly sounds like an amazing product that I hope we'll get soon. We as people do end up wasting a lot so if there's a way to help us not waste food I am all for it.
Not sure if it could work, people are just lazy. You know, they'll just leave something in the fridge and forget about it. They don't mind throwing it out and buying something else. Maybe I'm just being pessimistic, we'll see!
pretty sweet, hella expensive to implement that in all products
omg is that some delisicious bacon? with twinkie?
welcome to the delicious future everyone!
I dunno, I think I will still worry...
useful
sounds like a great idea really
It'll work, but still... The numbers are still insanely low for actually reducing wasted food. 8.2 Tons compaired to 400? Eh, we'll see.
It would help the world be a greener place if this was everywhere :D
That's kinda neat! I can't smell the difference between spoiled and okay food so that would be very helpful.
awsome! ill follow your blog
A great inventions for people who doesn't eat a lot, like me.
I rarely manage to eat food before its expiration.
Bart...U say Twinkies and Bacon....They should have that on the market :)
8.3t ?
Must be very expensive to produce?
I as a poor person often eat food past the expiration date. Not because it's bad, but because I don't trust the date. Will this colour thing accurately tell when its not edible or rather when a time limits expired?
