Food Quality raises $5.6 million

Food Quality Sensor International Inc. of Lexington announced today that it has completed a $5.6 million Series B financing.

The company's new product, SensorQ, is a smart label applied by a meat packer to the inside of meat and poultry packages to provide consumers with an indication of the product's freshness; as the product spoils, the bacterial count increases, and the label changes color, the company said.

The financing round was led by Swiss-based Inventages Venture Capital Inc. and Dutch-based DSM Venturing B.V., the company said.
