Israel Sar-El has devised a technology that can take care of two issues regarding Kosher chicken and meat. 1) Ensuring that the food is not contaminated 2) Ensuring that it is kosher. There was a very big problem when a store in Brooklyn,NY was using plumbas/tags for meat that was not certified as Glatt .
The answer: Hologram labels
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), foodborne diseases cause an estimated 76 million illnesses, 325,000 hospitalizations, and 5,000 deaths in the United States each year.
Current methods of stickers on or in the packaging, or metal rings around a chicken's leg, can be easily forged , Sar-El said.
"During the last few years, the means to counterfeit label markings have gotten much more sophisticated. Any kind of paper markings or stickers can be duplicated in your office on a laser printer and scanner. On the other hand, the means of preventing such tampering and counterfeiting have not improved," Sar-El told ISRAEL21c.
