If you’re sick of making a mess every time you eat or make burritos, a group of Johns Hopkins University undergraduate students has come up with a fix: edible tape.

Driving the news: The Maryland students created a design for "Tastee Tape" and presented it as part of the engineering school's Design Day. According to the university, the team of students created the “edible adhesive comprising a food-grade fibrous scaffold and an organic adhesive” to keep the ingredients inside the wrap during cooking and consumption.

What they’re saying: Student Erin Walsh told NBC Washington that burritos and wraps are one of her favorite foods and she came up for the idea for the tape in a product design course.

What's next: The students say they are applying for a patent and declined to disclose their formula. Other students on the team include Marie Eric and Rachel Nie.
