Viysab International, a Sweden-based research and development company, aims to increase profits, decrease food waste and keep consumers safer with its Freshtag temperature monitoring system.

According to Vitsab, Freshtag labels indicate safety and quality by using ‘stoplight technology.’ Once the label is activated by pressing a small circle, it will turn green to show its status.

As food travels through the supply chain, the Freshtag will change to yellow or red if temperature abuse has occurred. The red shows clients that the food is no longer safe to consume because it hasn’t been handled properly. This real-time technology enables clients to be much more informed about the safety of their food and can protect themselves and their consumers from illnesses that often result in lost profits.

In addition to helping businesses maximize profits and customer satisfaction, Freshtag is reportedly reducing food waste that eventually contributes to carbon emissions and health problems for consumers.
