The breakthrough lies in the use of plastic for the electronic device, rather than silicon. The capability to provide this type of feedback already exists, but only using silicon-based devices that are expensive to produce. The plastic devices can, apparently, be produced for 0.01 each around a tenth of the cost of comparable silicon-based circuitry making them practicable for even relatively inexpensive foods.
Being plastic-b
