The story

IdentiGEN was founded in 1996 as a spin-out from research conducted at Trinity College, Dublin. Among the first to apply molecular genetic techniques to source-verify meat products, the company pioneered the use of this technology to improve food traceability and supply chain transparency. It differs from track-and-trace systems that rely on metadata and packaging identification.
