LITMUS FQI

LITMUS FQI has developed breakthrough technology to determine food quality utilizing sensors that are inexpensive, simple, quick and effective.


LITMUS FQI sensors measure the level of decomposition in food, and are an effective way to indicate the DIRECT quality of various products throughout the entire food supply chain, from harvesting to the kitchen table.


  LITMUS FQI sensors provide:

More Productivity Lower Cost
  • Increased revenue: differentiation, exclusivity and brand loyalty.
  • Increased margins for assured quality.
  • Increased consumer confidence in the global food supply.
  • Increased profitability through better inventory management.
  • Reduced product liability
  • Reduced shrinkage and write-offs.
  • Reduced inventory holding costs.
  • Reduced inspection time and cost.


Exclusive now to the commercial and consumer food applications, the LITMUS FQI technology in the future can be adapted to meet defense, medical diagnostic, as well as environmental and industrial monitoring needs.

LITMUS FQI’s revolutionary sensors, developed at United States Food and Drug Administration’s National Center for Toxicological Research (NCTR), are a “disruptive” technology enabling:

  • Accurate identification of the DIRECT quality of perishable food.
  • Four configurations for use throughout the entire food supply chain.
  • Calibrations adjusted to suit a client’s needs.
  • Inexpensive, lower cost than alternative industry methods.
  • Quickness, allowing repeatable usage.
  • Reliable results obtained without extensive or complicated training.

LITMUS identifies partners interested in utilizing the LITMUS FQI technology and the development of additional sensors to meet their needs within the food industry (importers, processors, manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers, etc.), as well as packagers, government agencies, airlines, etc.
