Molecular Tracking: New Analytical Technology Secures Food Supply Chain

Molecular tracking is the only way to confirm the geographical origin of raw materials, ingredients, fruit, and vegetables. That’s crucial for Country of Origin Labeling and the Food Safety Modernization Act. Picarro has developed a new technology based on Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy which tells you what barcodes and RFID don’t - where the actual contents of a shipment came from. Not where the container says they came from. It’s a 10 minute test that costs 50 cents per sample. We can also tell you where synthetic products were made – or whether natural products are labeled correctly. Materials can be tested at any point along the chain — growers, distributers, processers, even customs and excise. The authenticity of your raw materials and processed foods can be truly verified. It can protect your brands and save you money.
