Food microfluidic paper‐based analytical devices (µPADs) are powerful tools to create total analysis systems and have long been demonstrated to be useful for safety and quality applications. Thanks to new technological innovations food µPADs offer exciting new possibilities. This review introduces how µPADs are obtained from chromatography, filter, or office papers and detect analytes from a food sample. We introduce the most current developments in the use of µPADs with an emphasis on paper types, adapted new technologies, and detection limits. Classifications are also made on food µPADs according to applied innovations and adapted novel technologies. In the first section, simple forms of µPADs for the detection of pathogen, mycotoxin, pesticides, and other food components are discussed with technical details. Then, we introduce multisensing approaches for high throughput analysis and a concise summary will be given. In the case of three‐dimensional (3D) µPADs, the use of 3D is discussed and compared to 2D µPADs in terms of its advantageous with the example of a food colorant test device. In the following section, smartphone adoption to µPADs is introduced in detail with eight different assay examples. Centrifugal platform for nickel assay is demonstrated as an enabling approach with shortened assay times by rotational velocity. The potential of user‐friendly hybrid devices is also summarized in the last part. Finally, we present an outlook to underline the opportunities created by smartphone‐based and intelligent µPADs for food safety and quality with real success perspectives

“…Chemical reaction materials can undergo chemical reactions under specific conditions and can be used to detect gas concentration, PH value, and other indicators inside the packaging. [7] Functional material-based packaging has a broad application prospect and can be used in food packaging, drug packaging, electronic product packaging, etc [8]; the Nespresso smart coffee capsule packaging is an excellent example of personalized packaging that can recognize the flavor and type of the capsule, and automatically adjust the water quantity and temperature of the coffee machine to ensure the quality and taste of the coffee (Fig. 1).…”

Digital technologies such as artificial intelligence and big data are transforming traditional industries, including intelligent packaging design. As the manufacturing industry develops, consumer expectations for packaging are increasing, presenting challenges for technological innovation and integrated development of intelligent packaging. This paper explores these challenges and proposes strategies for organic integration of technology, environmental protection, and aesthetics in intelligent packaging design. These strategies include strengthening technological innovation, improving environmental performance, emphasizing aesthetic design, and guiding consumer consumption concepts to improve the added value and market competitiveness of packaging.

“…The European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) defined intelligent packaging as materials that monitor the condition of packaged food or the environment surrounding the food [18]. This packaging consists of indicators, biosensor or data carriers attached inside or on the surface of the food package [19]. This system can communicate the conditions of the packaged product and its history (pathogens, toxins, time, and temperature) to the consumers without interacting with the food [12,20,21].…”

“…Although extensive research is currently underway, not all the developed smart packaging systems have been implemented at an industrial scale [17,22]. Costs and time related with the research and development of new packaging materials are hampering the growth of the market [19]. The nature and complexity of packaging materials can cause safety issues and thus requires further trials to test their toxicity, which also requires proper regulation [11,12].…”

The pivotal roles of smart packaging in the food industry are ensuring food quality and safety as well as providing consumers with important information about the food, allowing them to make more informed purchase/consumption decisions. The purpose of this study is to provide a holistic bibliometric analysis of smart food packaging. Bibliometric analysis collected 878 documents from the Scopus database. The annual trend revealed a three-phase growth, i.e., initial (1986–1999), development (2000–2016), and exponential (2017–2022). Since 2017, smart food packaging has attracted increasing research interest. From the keywords analysis, similar general topics of research were identified before and after the coronavirus outbreak (COVID-19). Remarkably, COVID-19 accelerated research and development toward finding sustainable and safe bio-based materials. However, most smart packaging materials are still not commercialized mainly due to the high cost of production and the absence of international standard regulations. Overall, academia is steps ahead in commercialization, where novel materials and mechanisms are tested for their efficiency and safety. The widespread of smart packaging relies on finding sustainable and safe solutions that are feasible at large scale and accepted by consumers.
