Company Performance Metrics
Index Biosystems is a genetic food system traceability solutions provider specializing in source-of-origin traceability and identity preservation. By guaranteeing sub-population level source-of-origin identification, we empower a TraceForward approach to traceability.
Index’s core technology involves inserting an inert genetic construct into food
system products - a Nuclid™. This includes inputs, feed, seed, food and additives. Identification can be accurately achieved within a few hours independent of packaging (even in co-mingled or transformed products), greatly reducing the impacts of any recall. Our solution works in concert with legacy systems and expands the scope of what is traceable - from seed to waste, including post-digestion.
Because this solution provides simple identification, there are many use-cases. Some use cases that we’ve identified include:
Recall scope reduction Operational insights GMO identification Fraud identification Feed and seed security IP tracking Food system certification Waste tracking
