We may be close to clearing up the problem of food poisoning. A Canadian company is developing a plastic food wrap that will change color if food is contaminated with dangerous bacteria, New Scientist magazine reports.

Toxin Alert’s wrap will contain antibodies that stick to the inside of the wrap and are activated when it touches spoiled food.

A company official said: “This should be affordable for everyone. If you can afford a sandwich bag, you should be able to afford one of our sandwich bags.”
