ABSTRACT

The healthy growth of humans and animals depends on consuming good foods. The adulterations – tampering with food labels and/or repackaging of food – which is largely committed by producers with the primary aim of maximizing profits, are of great concern globally today. The health risks of consuming such food ranges from mild infections to death. Today, artificial intelligence (AI) in packaged foods is rising to the challenge. The use of AI-based food packaging like radio frequency identification (RFID), barcoding, and quick response (QR) codes, is ensuring that packaged foods are secured but also, that these foods can be traced between the manufacturing line and the end-user. AI data technologies have been a twentieth-century innovation that increases consumers’ confidence in the packaged foods.
