Novel Time Temperature Indicators — US partner. Israeli partner: Freshpoint Quality Assurance Ltd. (Haifa (Haifa & North)). Sector: Other, Materials. Ciba Specialty Chemicals and FreshPoint have developed the OnVu™, a novel time-temperature indicator (TTI). The most common cause of spoilage of chilled food and beverages is the temperature being too high during storage and transport. This new TTI device, supported by the BIRD Foundation, shows at a glance, the freshness of perishable goods. It allows producers, retailers and consumers to check whether perishable products have been correctly stored and supplied, thus helping to enhance consumer convenience and confidence.
