IntroducingNuclid™An inert genetic construct.
A DNA Unique Identifier, or Nuclid™
(short for “nuclear-identifier”).
Whole Profile
Nuclid™ embedded into whole food items to enable direct traceability.
Examples
- Food (e.g. lettuce, peas)
- Feed (e.g. maize)
Hybrid Profile
Part and Whole profiles combined in flexible configurations.
Examples
- Plant-based meat (yeast x peas)
- Plant protection (fungi x maize)
Part Profile
Nuclid™ embedded into food additives and fillers for indirect traceability.
Examples
- Yeast (e.g. brewer’s yeast)
- Plant-protein (e.g. soy)
One Solution. Complete Coverage.
Implemented as a stand-alone solution or alongside existing systems, our platform supports virtually any food system product (i.e. inputs, feed, seed, food and additives) across the entire supply chain...and beyond*.

Newly Indexed population is propagated.
Introducing TraceForward™
Due to the limitations of existing traceability best practices, industry must settle for one-step-forward/one-step-back traceability at every node in the supply-chain. As a result, investigations often involve costly and inefficient traceback protocols, especially when the source-of-attribution is at the start of the supply-chain. The outcome of traceback investigations are often inconclusive necessitating costly, broad-scale industry recalls.
Made possible by our Nuclid™ technology, TraceForward™ guarantees source-of-origin identification at any point in the food system.
- Identify source-of-origin within minutes, independent of packaging, even in co-mingled and transformed products.
- If the chain-of-custody is broken, TraceForward™ is your safety net.
- Simultaneously attack any traceability challenge from source-of-origin and last-known trigger point.
- At a minimum, halve the time it takes to find the source-of-attribution for any recall event, or investigation.
