Society: Cookies for visually challenged

Students at Southwest University in Chongqing recently created a special type of Braille cookie for the visually impaired. The product won second prize at an international college student agriculture business plan competition last week in Guangzhou, Guangdong province. Braille is printed on the packaging as well as on each cookie to provide basic information about the product, such as the flavor, production and shelf life. A small audio installation inside the cookie box relays more information about the product once opened. "China has a large number of visually impaired people, but no special food for them," said Wang Meijing, a major in food science and engineering at the university.
