Opportunity BasketDairyCheck: At-Home Dairy Freshness Test Kit
A disposable test strip kit (similar to pH or glucose strips) that home cooks dip into opened dairy products to detect bacterial spoilage markers (lactic acid buildup, ammonia, biogenic amines). Each kit includes 30 strips, a color-change reference card, and a smartphone app that interprets results via photo. Users get a binary safe/unsafe answer in 10 seconds.

Home cooks struggle to determine if opened dairy products are still safe to eatHome cooks frequently buy perishable items like feta cheese but lack reliable methods to assess freshness and safety after extended storage. Current solutions (expiration dates, visual inspection, smell tests) are inconsistent and unreliable, leaving people uncertain whether to consume or discard food, leading to both food waste and potential food safety risks.
