MIT Scientists Develop Food Sensor That Can Detect Spoiled or Contaminated Food

XTalks

MIT engineers have designed a food sensor , made from an array of silk microneedles, that can pierce through the plastic packaging of foods to sample for bacterial contamination and spoilage. The Velco-like device pierces the packaging and the food via silk microneedles that suck in material through capillary action.
