We've told you about street food markets like eat.st, run through Russel Norman's seemingly endless food spot launches and given you a heads up to burger joints left right and centre. Alongside all the food scene hustle, Europe has just been struck with recent scares of E Coli ridden cucumbers. Salad has never been so dangerous and we want to know all about what exactly is happening with all the good stuff we chow down daily. Enter the edible radio-frequency identification (RFID) chip. Food meets tech in a whole new way thanks to Hannes Harms, the Royal College of Art student behind the edible RFID chip design that has sent our curiosity levels through the roof.   Implanted into food items, or onto packaging - it lets you know exactly what calories and what ingredients are in the food you eat. Designed as part of a system he’s called NutriSmart – the introduction of this technology has the potential to be life changing for those who suffer from serious allergies and health conditions.    For others, the extra cost of the technology, and the implications alone of ingesting a dozen or so radio wired chips a day, is a little unsettling. Can we safely consume these RFID chips? Regardless, we can’t deny it’s an exciting concept and one that Philips has also explored with their food-scanners and incubators. Check them out here.   Where is the future of food? We think you're looking right at it.
