CHICAGO - APRIL 12: A woman shops for milk in a grocery April 12, 2004 in Chicago, Illinois. Agriculture experts say consumers could pay as much as 50 cents more per gallon of milk as prices peak in the coming months then fall back at summer's end.

This health technology is now being worked on by McMaster University's health experts. They are coordinating with Toyota Tsusho Canada.

Involved researchers explained that this new bacteria detector work by identifying contamination in dairy products. It can do this by reading a signal from a test printed inside every container.

"Milk is a very rich environment whose complex biology can mask the presence of pathogens, making it hard to find them. In terms of the technical challenge, it's similar to blood," said the McMaster School of Biomedical Engineering's Canada Research Chair, Tohid Didar. 

Once the new bacteria identifier is actually used in popular dairy products, consumers can ensure that their milk beverages are safe for consumption. 

It can be printed on the inner surface of a container. Involved experts said that it would not affect the taste of your dairy product since it is a tasteless, food-safe patch. If you want to know further details, you can visit this link.  

Bacteria Could be Antibiotic Resistant? 

National of Change Org reported that Rice University believes that microplastic could make bacteria much stronger. This could be a major issue since microplastics are now being used in clothing, takeout containers, as well as drinking bottles. 

Once they became antibiotic-resistant, many people across the globe would be infected. This is why the bacteria detector and other similar innovations are currently important. 

In other news, authorities are now alarmed about the so-called "COVID-19 Manufacturer Fear." On the other hand, 3D-printed meat is now available in various European restaurants.
