Consumers love the Asian-inspired sweet and spicy tastes," said Bart Silvestro, Chief Executive Officer of Chef's Cut Real Jerky Co. "When we launched our first chicken jerkies back in the early days, we set a new industry standard in terms of quali- ty and taste.

World's First DNA-Based Traceability System Verifies Sustainability Claims SafeTraces, Inc. has developed the world's first DNA-based traceability systems for fertilizer. The system has now been delivered to 20 manufactur- ers in an unnamed NATO member country. DNA-based traceability has the potential for use in sustainable commodities such as palm oil, oil seeds and beans. Illegal diversion, tax evasion, misuse and adulteration plague many global commodities. SafeTraces' patented D- ART 3000 systems set a new standard in undetectable, unbreakable, cost-effective tagging of high volume goods. SafeTraces is actively marketing the D- ART 3000 system to fertilizer manufac- turers and government organizations in Africa, Asia and Europe. The first 20 sys- tems now delivered to the NATO mem- ber country are part of a multi-system order with additional deliveries planned in the coming months. "Mislabeling of sustainable prod- ucts is a worldwide problem," said Anthony Zografos, Chief Executive Officer of SafeTraces, "as ingredients pass through multiple intermediaries between growers and processors. Products are mixed or replaced along the supply chain with non-certified sub- stitutes, putting a brand's sustainability claims into question. The only solution is greater supply chain transparency, and SafeTraces provides unparalleled source assurance, even in the most complex supply chains." Coupled with a blockchain-based or centralized code registry system, SafeTraces™ DNA Barcodes create unbreakable links between physical objects and their digital certificates, enabling transaction recording and rapid verification at any point in the supply chain. When used with most commodities, SafeTraces DNA Barcodes will be stable for over two years. In the fertilizer case, the compa- ny's D-ART 3000 systems are seam- lessly integrated into fertilizer bag-fill- ing lines and mix a unique 'DNA Barcode' into each bag, totaling mil- lions of unique DNA Barcodes each year. The D-ART 3000 system is part of SafeTraces' complete solution that includes DNA Barcode customization and dispensing, DNA Barcode tracking systems, test instruments and test kits. "The D-ART 3000 is the first system that brings DNA tagging from the labora- tory to industrial settings," said Zografos. "We developed an easy-to-use, yet robust and low-cost solution that includes FDA approved, food-grade DNA Barcodes. We are putting the power of modern molecular technologies in the hands of industrial customers and end users. The response from customers in a wide range of industries has been universally enthu- siastic."
