Index Bio helps food manufacturers move from reactive to proactive, and ultimately predictive, food safety.
What we do: BioTags® are clean-label, DNA-labelled microbial tracers made from inactive baker’s yeast—compliant with FDA and Health Canada, with no gene modification.
How it works: Applied wet or dry to foods, ingredients, inputs, or surfaces, BioTags move with materials and remain durable through processing. They are detected using standard swabbing and retained sample workflows—seamlessly integrating into existing QA/QC programs with no impact on product, process, or personnel.
Use cases: Establish clean breaks, evaluate sanitation programs, map contamination pathways, verify thermal processes, and assess hygienic design.
Why it matters: Each application generates structured, AI-ready data that surfaces blind spots routine checks miss, reduces recall scope, strengthens preventive controls, and supports predictive food safety models.
