Microbial Spores to Track, Trace and Authenticate | Aanika Biosciences
Supply chains are large complex systems with vast amounts of data, plagued with problems. Products are contaminated, go missing, are resold without permission, are sold as something else. Within the food supply chain, it can take up to eight weeks to sort a contamination issue. Aanika Biosciences have developed a non-GMO solution to track, trace and authenticate products along this supply chain. Co-founder Vishaal talks us through how using their inert microbial spores can guarantee the accurate identification of your products. By providing robust traceability, Aanika Biosciences are reducing the inefficiencies in the supply chain. Our discussion follows the use of their product, the mechanisms through which it works, future projects and how this start-up was built by following the problem first approach.
