Existing studies exploring the fluorescence spectra of food products have largely collected fluorescence profiles for compositional analysis and quality assessment. While valuable, such works cannot inform the design of probe-based food sensors, as arbitrary quantifications of fluorescence cannot be readily compared to the intensity of fluorophore-labelled probes. Given the lack of data available regarding fluorophore visibility on food backgrounds, food sensing studies have employed a range of different fluorophores with no consideration towards the label best suited for their system, possibly limiting the resultant platforms' sensitivity and reliability. Concurrently, growing interest in in situ food sensors also brings focus towards the ease with which sensing platforms can be integrated onto food packaging. While biomolecular microarrays are most often produced via non-contact piezoelectric deposition owing to significant commercial optimization, such systems remain slow. As such, they are unsuitable for applications that require deposition over large surface areas, as would be required in the mass production of biofunctionalized food packaging. Comparatively, contact printing can deposit target bio-inks over large substrates rapidly via roll-to-roll printing. Further, the physical nature of contact deposition eliminates bio-ink evaporation post-deposition, inducing high lateral resolution within printed arrays. Importantly, while the contact printing of antibodies has been successfully demonstrated in previous works, the contact-based deposition of fNAPs has not yet been reported. Considering that contact printing offers limited control over biomolecule orientation -a necessary condition to permit signal-inducing fluorophore-quencher separation within fNAPs, developing functional arrays using such an approach can be considered difficult.
