Bright Idea: Home kit to test food for toxins in China

2/15/2013

 
Picture
A consumer's challenge in China: From contaminated milk to chickens fed with excessive amounts of antibiotics and hormones, a new food scandal seems to occur every week in China.  Consumers are rightly scared.

The solution:  Until "the system" changes, a food safety testing system which yield results in minutes.

Scientists at Tianjin University of Science and Technology created such a solution.  The food testing indicator paper will help consumers identify food products contaminated with pathogenic bacteria and excessive drug residues.  During tests, the paper was found to change color to suggest over 60 varieties of chemical factors in food samples during lab research conducted at university.  Food safety testing usually requires complex testing machines and procedures in laboratories. With this test paper, however, certain harmful substances can be identified in a few minutes.

Definitely a real solution for the real world.
