 A chocolate bar underwent testing with SCiO technology earlier this year. SCiO, from Consumer Physics of Israel, can identify substances by measuring the spectrum of light they reflect. It could be used to detect fake or mislabeled foods.








While eating out at a restaurant you rarely ever initially think about whether or not you will receive food poisoning from it. Although food poisoning is not something that happens everyday, it occurs more often than you think. About 128,000 have been hospitalized is the last year in the united states alone. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to check your food for certain bacteria, to prevent those long unfortunate long trips to the bathroom. The Nima from 6sensorLabs is trying to do just that. This device as of right now only detects gluten in foods at minuscule concentrations. The device is also very handy, small enough to fit in your pocket. 6sendorlabs goal for the Nima is for it to recognize all manner of proteins including the ones that would allow it to detect bacterial contaminations such as E. coli and  salmonella. This innovative idea is one that I think could do very well in the competitive market. Some might say ehh, ill take the risk of getting sick, but for those who are cautious about what they put onto there body will see this product very useful.
