This EIT Food project (funded under the UKRI guarantee scheme) will develop a tag version of Mimica Bump; an innovative, accurate & responsive expiry information system to reduce unnecessary food waste as part of a circular food system. The project will be led by Mimica, supported by Fiorani, ABP and Aarhus University.Globally, a third of food produced is wasted, with 70% still safe for consumption. Waste along the supply chain is a large economic burden. A major issue is confusing & overcautious expiry dates, which leads to edible food being thrown away.Bump is a patented expiry label that turns bumpy when food/drinks spoil, based on actual temperature conditions. It provides an accurate, real-time indication of the product’s freshness and is a game-changer in food industry sustainability and food education.Building on the development of a bottle cap integration, this Project will see Bump adapted to be universally compatible with various packaging formats through integration into Fiorani and ABP products and current manufacturing processes. Aarhus University will conduct consumer behaviour change & food waste research, and a Life Cycle Assessment (net impact study) to show the environmental benefits of integrating Bump into packaged foods.The project will accelerate food waste reduction by preparing Bump to rapidly scale with other companies after the project. It will overcome low consumer trust in the current fixed date system, enhance food transparency and build a consumer-centric food system.

EIT食品项目（由UKRI担保计划资助）将开发Mimica Bump的标签版本;这是一个创新，准确和响应式的过期信息系统，以减少不必要的食物浪费，作为循环食品系统的一部分。该项目将由Mimica牵头，Fiorani、ABP和奥胡斯大学提供支持。在全球范围内，三分之一的粮食被浪费，70%的粮食仍然可以安全食用。沿着供应链的浪费是一个巨大的经济负担。一个主要问题是令人困惑和过于谨慎的有效期，这导致可食用的食物被扔掉。Bump是一种专利有效期标签，当食物/饮料变质时，根据实际温度条件会变得凹凸不平。它提供了一个准确的，实时的产品新鲜度的指示，是食品行业可持续发展和食品教育的游戏规则改变者。在瓶盖集成开发的基础上，该项目将看到Bump通过集成到Fiorani和ABP产品和当前的制造工艺中，适应各种包装形式。奥胡斯大学将开展消费者行为改变和食物浪费研究，以及生命周期评估（净影响研究），以显示将Bump整合到包装食品中的环境效益。该项目将通过帮助Bump在项目结束后迅速扩大与其他公司的规模来加速减少食物浪费。它将克服消费者对当前固定日期系统的低信任度，提高食品透明度，并建立以消费者为中心的食品系统。
