The Food Warden is a system which detects meat spoilage. It uses <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> cells. Their natural genetic response to the gases of rotten meat has been identified and linked to a pigment production system. In this way, a consumer can easily see when the meat is spoiled: <b><i>it's rotten and you know it!</i></b><br> | The Food Warden is a system which detects meat spoilage.
