Abstract
Apparatus and associated methods relate to a set of timers each corresponding to one of a set of visual indicia, and each timer configured to be associated with one or more predetermined timing thresholds associated with temporal hazards of a perishable food item. In an illustrative embodiment, each timer may have three timing thresholds, one associated with a room-temperature spoilage hazard, one with a refrigerator spoilage hazard, and one with a freezer spoilage hazard. In some embodiments, an identifying tag having one of the set of visible indicia may attach to a perishable food container. The identifying tag may be a color or a symbol attached to a nipple of a baby bottle, for example. In some embodiments, an alarm signal may be generated when the timer equals one of the predetermined timing threshold to advantageously warn a user that the associated temporal hazard may have occurred.
