Fridges that will be able to send consumers email or text alerts when food is going off are being created by a group of researchers.
Ten scientists at Manchester University are working on an advanced device that will be able to send consumers email or text alerts.Project head Dr Bruce Grieve said: "Food wastage costs in the UK are massive."
UK boffins have created a battery-free label which can pick up when food is on the turn, reports the Sun.
The disposable 5p gadget - like a security label on a CD - measures the temperature of food and the time it is stored.
It will be used by stores next year for bulk foods.
