The Food That E-Mails or Texts You When It's About to Go Bad

A new label technology claims it can monitor ambient conditions and predict when food is starting to go bad.

According to The Sun, the disposable 5p gadget — like a security label on a CD — measures the temperature of food and the time it is stored.

And scientists at Manchester University are working on an even more advanced device that will be able to communicate with refrigerators and send consumers email or text alerts to tell them that it's bad.
