Reply to Researchers have developed a way to include an unobtrusive edible tag (QR code) embedded inside the food that can be read without having to first destroy the food and the tag doesn’t change the outer appearance or taste of the food at all by giuliomagnifico

The tl;dr - this is for 3D printed edible objects (think cookies) and varies the density of the infill so that it a QR code appears when the object is backlit by a strong light source.

Insanely clever idea. Doesn't change the ingredients, taste or outward appearance of the food, although it does introduce a pattern of hollow and solid spots in the food, so I'd guess it could effect texture in some way.

I'm not sure what the advantage would be over embossing the code on the exterior, though. It'd definitely make for a neat variation on fortune cookie.
