What is Store Safe?

The overall objective of SafeConsume is to reduce health burden from foodborne illnesses. Store Safe is designed as a part of range of products that can reduce these risks. Store Safe is a box for cold cuts and meat. Meat is perishable food. It therefore has a short shelf life before it becomes toxic. The listeria bacterium is the main poblem. The bacterium can multiply in the refrigerator temperature and this makes it a danger to us. After visiting several families, I saw that most have no system or control in the refrigerator. They also had no control over how long the ham had been opened.

With Store Safe, one avoids the food reaching a toxic stage. It has a information that tells where in the refrigerator the meat stays best. It also has an indicator that tells how many days of shelf life are left.
