Abstract
Consumers’ growing concern for the safety of fruits and vegetables is driven by the potential
health risks posed by harmful chemical residues, such as pesticides and heavy metals. Theproblem lies in the absence of accessible, real-time, and cost-effective solutions for individualsto assess the safety and quality of the produce they purchase. Existing methods, often limitedtoexpensive laboratory tests, are not practical for the average consumer. As a result, individualslack the means to make informed decisions about the safety of their food. This project aimstobridge this gap by developing a portable and user-friendly device that swiftly scans and analyzesfruits and vegetables, providing consumers with vital information on the safety of their producechoices. With the help of IoT sensors and embedded C programming, the project is beingbuilt.
