Dynamic shelf life
labelling to reduce
food waste

We are food-tech company that aims to disrupt one of the most ad-hoc systems of our society – the expiry date system. By developing technology for a more accurate shelf life determination, we will help all actors in the food value chain reduce their part of one of the most pressing climate issues – food waste.

  • UNLOCKING SHELFLIFE

    There are more days than the expiry date claims. Our technology allows consumers to confidently regain these days.

  • FACT-BASED MEASUREMENTS

    Our sensor response is based on the microbial growth in single packages and gives a real time indication of freshness.

  • EFFICIENT FOOD SYSTEM

    A higher degree of food consumed results in reduced food waste, thus increasing the efficiency of the food system.

The Label: how does it work?

As food degrades, spoilage bacteria follow a predictable growth curve, releasing gases as part of their metabolism. These gases enable bacterial level measurements in the food.

Innoscentia’s reactive ink forms the foundation of the label’s sensory capabilities. Once calibrated in line with gas development, the ink changes its colour in accordance with bacterial growth.

This patentable technology is what allows us to create a sensor that, in real time, tells us the freshness of the product. The Bio-Sensor changes color based on the gas levels, indicating whether the product is safe to eat or not.

The Mobile Platform

Our scanning feature, allows customers to gain more information on the label as well as additional insigts on the product and producer.  The usage of this mobile platform also allows for valuable data collection.
