Smart plastic wrappers could let shoppers know when fruit and veg is ripe and fresh and ready to buy, reports the Daily Express.

Swiss scientists with colleagues from Manchester and Sheffield universities are developing "FlexSmell" material with sensors which "sniff out" gases that indicate freshness in fruit and veg.

The Engineer magazine has reported that the wrapping could have the ability to transmit the information wirelessly to shopkeepers and supermarkets.
