The device, which Baidu says can tell consumers whether the food in front of them is safe to eat, was born of an April Fool's video, a spokesman said on Thursday.

Baidu had at the time "no serious intention of actually pursuing this", the spokesman said of the stunt it released earlier this year. "But it generated a lot of excitement both internally and externally."
