Smart Chinese chopsticks will tell you about the freshness of food
How to protect yourself from low-quality Chinese food? A solution to this problem was proposed by Baidu.
The Chinese search giant has unveiled a set of so-called Kuaisou smart sticks that it says can monitor harmful substances in food products. The presentation of the new product took place during the annual Baidu technology conference. The company's chief executive officer, Robin Lee, called it a new way to discover the sense of taste.
In the future, Baidu Kuaisou will allow you to learn more about the origin of oil, water and other food products, determine their quality and composition, The Wall Street Journal quotes Mr. Lee as saying.
Kuaisou chopsticks work in conjunction with a smartphone app. For example, if you dip these sticks in olive oil, they will tell you about the quality of the product you are about to eat. If your salad is dressed with fresh oil, a good message will appear on the smartphone screen. If the oil has already been used for frying, then you will receive a bad message.
In recent years, China has been plagued by scandals over unsatisfactory food quality, from toxic milk to glow-in-the-dark pork. Earlier this month, a hotel cook in the city of Hangzhou was convicted of coloring food. To improve the appearance of the dishes, he used a prohibited dye.
The new wands can not only detect the freshness of food, but also measure pH levels, temperature and count calories.
The cost of the miracle wands was not announced. According to Baidu, they are not yet ready for mass production.
It is worth noting that Baidu tends to copy Google products. Thus, the Chinese company has released its analogues of Google Glass and self-driving cars. However, smart sticks are Baidu s own development, proposed taking into account Chinese specifics.
