The food tech category encompasses everything from Grubhub-Seamless competitors to laboratories designing plant-based meat.

No importa qué guía dietética tengas entre manos, todas –con independencia de su nacionalidad y desde hace al menos 40 años–, trasladan un mensaje único, clónico, respecto al consumo de lácteos: por salud, hay que escoger las versiones desnatadas. Este mensaje se repite desde finales de la década de los años 70, concretamente cuando se publicaron las primeras guías dietéticas para norteamericanos, que fueron replicadas por la mayor parte de las administraciones sanitarias.
The food industry still causes vast amounts of waste, and a lot of waste happens in homes. Much of the food consumers buy end up being thrown out after it goes bad, and organic fruits and vegetables often don’t stay fresh for long due to a lack of preservatives. But a new Israel and China-based startup hopes to extend the life of fresh produce with their innovation.
Phresh has developed Food Protectors, a kitchen gadget that could increase the lifetime of fruit and veg by up to a month. The protectors use a powerful, plant-based organic powder that counteracts the bacteria that cause food to go bad.
Food poisoning is a potentially lethal condition and therefore a serious problem for the food industry. Each year, some 50 million people suffer food poisoning in the U.S. alone, including more than a million cases of potentially lethal salmonella poisoning.
So finding ways to prevent the spread of this and other kinds of bacteria is an important goal. But it is hard to detect bacteria in food products. The most common detection methods involve techniques such as microbiological culturing, polymerase chain reactions, high-performance liquid chromatography, and mass spectrometry, to name just a few.

Hay saltos con pirueta, algunos con tirabuzón, y los más valientes incluyen triple mortal. El Gobierno Vasco se enfrenta a la paradoja de tener que defender ante los tribunales la multa de 18 millones que ha puesto Competencia por el sobrecoste millonario provocado por el sistema de adjudicación desplegado por el Ejecutivo vasco durante diez años en el servicio de contratación de los comedores escolares públicos.
Most food products are now packaged in plastic. German researchers have now shown that plasticisers can enter the body, disrupt hormone production, and cause people to gain weight. EurActiv Germany reports.
Plasticisers are added to food packaging, cables and various other products in order to make them more flexible and easier to handle.
Who would have thought there’s money in measuring how much food a professional kitchen throws away? Food waste smart meter maker Winnow has bagged a further $3.3 million in funding.
Investors in what the startup is talking up as an “oversubscribed” Series A round include previous backers Mustard Seed, and Axel Johnson’s digital venture capital fund D:Ax, along with a number of private investors.
