ColdChainIQ

ColdChainIQ is a mobile + web app that helps consumers and small food businesses reduce meat/seafood spoilage by tracking time-and-temperature exposure from purchase to cooking. Users scan a receipt or barcode, then log storage location (car, fridge, freezer) and optionally pair a cheap Bluetooth thermometer. The app estimates remaining safe window and quality degradation, sends “use or freeze now” alerts, and generates simple handling instructions (thawing, refreezing risk, cross-contamination reminders). It also keeps a “protein inventory” with best-by confidence scores rather than blindly trusting printed dates. For small operators (meal prep, caterers, fishmongers), it provides batch-level logs and exportable reports for internal QA. This is a combination traditional + AI app: traditional tracking plus AI to interpret ambiguous product labels, receipts, and user notes into standardized items and risk rules.
