I've seen this innovation also on the website of design studio YANKO DESIGN -> much earlier than this one. Are TO-GENKYO and YANKO DESIGN partner design studio's? ;-) By the way..... this idea is not new.....it was already published at 13/06/2007: http://louise.hu/poet/?p=455 Design studio TO-GENKYO???

LAWYERED! This would be a great idea – until I rub some ammonia on my thumb and run it across the label demanding a reduced price on the meat as it is now ‘spoiled’. LAWYERED!

I read this this morning while sipping my coffee - now (end of day) I've switched to wine and just saw an interesting docu on tv ("Essen im 21. Jahrhundert" on Phoenix) where they mentioned similar 'Smart Labels' which are designed to indicate consistent/inconsistent cooling on frozen fish products so the consumer and/or store can see if it is safe to eat. I like where this is headed... really like this concept.

If this is the case then is the ammonia release more so than a fresh pack without gas? Looking at the package it appears that japan uses a gas flushed process.

So... a little less fresh, knock off a little from the price. I'd buy a little less fresh meat... I think I already am. Sidenote… that is some fatty meat in the packaging demos. Good grief. @ Webteksten

People already do that with the current labels. My prediction? The people that already do that will continue to and the people that don't care will continue to not care. @Webteksten Paultje

That’s a ridiculous assumption.

People already do that with the current labels.

My prediction? The people that already do that will continue to and the people that don’t care will continue to not care.

There even exists an association that gathers this kind of products for the orphanages.

Consumers will go for the freshest labels, and that means that food that is still perfectly good to eat but less 'fresh' will remain in the shelves until it expires. More waste, higher prices.

There is definately some synergy with this project.
