Index Biosystems is a genetic food system traceability solutions provider specializing in source-of-origin traceability and identity preservation.

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.
