More than 20Million take-away packages are used by restaurants in Sweden every year.

At the same time, the demand for seafood is expected to increase by 100 million tonnes to 2050. Market for fish can with can with good conscience be described as a jungle for consumers. There are several different fishing methods, several different farming methods and lots of different labels that very few know what they mean or if they really do any good.

Innoscentia

In most parts of our world, we are using a highly inefficient system to determine food shelf life. Because of the inability to monitor products, producers are forced to assume worst-case scenarios when setting expiry dates, why about 30% of the shelf life is lost and locked up in the system. As the concern for food quality and food safety is growing around the world, the trend among end consumers is leaning towards more conservative interpretations of expiry dates, which emphasizes the need for a systematic shift in shelf-life determination.
