More security

 
Labels Modern labels with a so-called Time Temperature Indicator (TTI) are designed to provide retailers and consumers with more certainty in terms of freshness and shelf life. The TTI labels called OnVu, developed and produced by the Balingen-based technology company Bizerba and the Swiss chemicals group Ciba, bring more transparency to the entire production and cold chain. The TTI label with a special printing ink can be attached to any sales packaging as an additional label. The degree of discoloration indicates whether the product is still full or only just edible or whether it is already spoiled. The indicator discolors faster the further the product deviates from the ideal storage conditions, thus describing the individual degree of freshness for each product. This makes it possible to visualize a cold chain so that consumers can see for themselves that the goods have been chilled throughout.
