Food-borne illness is a major hazard that distresses the global economy and productivity. The most of the time, food-borne illness arises due to the consumption of spoilt or contaminated foods. This fact still remains inconspicuous to many consumers and manufacturers. Whether it is animal or plant products both get spoilt or contaminated due to certain parameters such as humidity, pH, moisture content or poor handling etc. This in turn has led to huge consequences amongst the population who consumes the same. Thus, the standards and requirements of the food have to be put under strict surveillance. Perhaps there are several methods available like DNA-based and omics based, but are considered to be highly invasive methods. Since sensor technology and IoT are growing at a rapid stage. Food safety methods can be improved by creating gadgets and equipment in a non-invasive way. In this paper an attempt has been made to design an IoT based equipment for measuring the spoilage of foods. In addition to it an analysis has been made to see the performance efficacy of the same.
