How is this caring for consumers more than a posted best buy or freeze by date?

A butcher/meat processor can put whatever date they like on the label...

IF you have tech like this, which reacts to meat degradation (via ammonia levels), then you have a much more accurate idea if the meat is still edible or not.

The dates are estimations and not guarantees that the meet is good. People package it and stamp it. People suck. This would be a more accurate way to determine if the meet was good. Hell all the shit talking that goes on about Walmart are people aware that they have a butcher? Put two and two together and it's not a stretch to assume the meats bad, despite the date

...Did you read the post? It makes the bar code unscannable. So you literally can't walk out of the store with bad meat. So it's an extra level of safety. Plus it's just clearer and easier to see that it's gone bad as you're shopping.
