ABSTRACT:
Two-stage systems and methods are provided for gathering food information and communicating the food information to a data collection apparatus. A system includes a remote unit, having a sensor device and a wireless transmitter; a translator or intermediate unit, having a wireless receiver and transmitter; and a central unit. Data is gathered by the remote unit, wirelessly transmitted to the translator unit, and relayed to the central unit. Communication between the translator unit and the central unit may be wireless as well, or the translator unit may be equipped to transmit either wirelessly or via a direct physical connection.
