NaturalTag

NaturalTag is a patented supply chain traceability solution that allows for the tagging of individual batches of any product. Using a minimal quantity of NaturalTag microbial identifiers, each containing a natural and unique DNA sequence, your ingredients can be traced along every step of the supply chain. NaturalTag identifiers can be read out using DNA sequencing technology, to extract a traceability report stored in our cloudbase which contains all origination information of your product.

Whilst many solutions exist to label the packaging of consumer products, none so far are compliant with food-grade regulations. NaturalTag technology is DNA-based, imperceptible and allows for an infinite number of unique serial identifiers. The rapid readouts allow for you to receive individual traceability reports of multiple ingredients within a single product in 2 hours.

NaturalTag microbial identifiers can be mixed in with products, as well as applied topically onto ingredients using widely available DNA -sequencing technology. The tag can also be read even after the ingredient has been processed into another product.

Natural Trace produces and distributes billions of these unique, food grade tags. This will also include the licensing of tag-detection to laboratory service companies globally.

Increased traceability means greater confidence in where your product comes from; confidence that it is safe, good quality, compliant with regulations and produced in a socially responsible manner. Tagging the product itself rather than its packaging strengthens your product’s integrity, reduces recalls and increases your brand reputation.

Forensic
Traceability

Forensic
Traceability

NaturalTag enables forensic food testing, which companies undertake for a variety of purposes including food safety, quality control, responding to customer complaints and protecting the company’s reputation.

Counterfeiting

Counterfeiting

NaturalTag allows you to tag products directly to ensure the integrity of your brand and products. This prevents the packaging of your product being refilled with inferior content and resold.

Product
Dilution
