SENSOR WIRELESS INC. IS PLEASED TO ANNOUNCE IT HAS BEEN SELECTED AS THE PRIMARY TECHNOLOGY PARTNER IN A 4 YEAR STUDY led by California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. The multi-institutional project will actively monitor the time/temperature fluctuations that occur during commercial transport of leafy greens in various distribution systems. Utilising proprietary Active Wireless Sensor TechnologyTM the project, funded by USDA, under the CSREES National Food Safety Initiative Program (NIFSI) AIMS TO identify a series of pre-and post-harvest E. coli intervention strategies for fresh-cut lettuce and spinach to aid in developing a highly-integrated risk assessment model for E. coli in these products. Data collected by Sensor Wireless AWS Technology ® will be used to develop and validate a predictive mathematical model for changes in E. coli growth and/or survival that are likely to occur during commercial distribution of these products throughout the supply chain. The information will be critical for establishing best handling practices and scientifically based “best used by” dates to identify suspect produce prior to consumption, which will reduce the risk of food-borne illness.
This project compliments important advances in the commercialization of Sensor Wireless Thermal Probe Monitoring technology currently being implemented into one of Canada’s largest food service companies.
