Leverage Technology to Monitor Food Freshness
Let tech do the work to prevent food from spoiling. There are many apps and tools that help you stay on top of your food inventory and reduce waste.
Inventory apps allow you to track what you have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry. You can log expiration dates, set reminders, and even get recipes based on items approaching their expiration date. Instead of relying on memory or sticky notes, you get a digital, organized overview of what needs to be used first.
Wireless Bluetooth fridge sensors can measure the temperature, humidity, and air pressure inside your refrigerator. They will alert you when a measurement changes so you can correct issues before they impact your food.
If you happen to be in the market for a new refrigerator, AI-powered smart fridges can tell you which foods are about to expire. They can also provide extra cooling to keep temperatures consistent.
