PerkinElmer shows off fraud-fighting app at IFT 2013
PerkinElmer demonstrated its Food Fraud Defender app for iPad at IFT 2013. To use, the operator opens the app and scans the product in question in order to determine if it is authentic and safe. For example, users can point their iPad at a bottle of extra-virgin olive oil and find out if it contains other oils, or bears the level of purity that the supplier claims it does. It also could be used to determine if infant formula has been tainted with melamine or other harmful ingredients.
