Bump is a temperature-sensitive indicator that provides accurate freshness information, reducing unnecessary waste from overcautious expiry dates. Available as a cap or tag, it shows the true longevity of food and drinks by responding to temperature changes and becoming bumpy when the food or drinks actually spoil.
How to use Bump
Bump is designed for inclusivity with its tactile interface – swipe it with a little pressure, in a circular motion or from side to side.
If it feels firm and smooth, the food or drink is still fresh and good to enjoy.
If you start to feel pointy bumps, it should no longer be consumed.
