We bring a unique understanding of the global product system and scientific expertise to address challenges of credibility, trust and source verification in modern supply chains. The way products are grown, sourced, distributed, represented and sold is more complex than ever. Food and agricultural supply chains are a vital connection between producers and consumers. Modern consumers want this conn
ection to feel confident that the food has come from where it is claimed, and that it is safe. Security and integrity in each segment of the food supply chain that connects consumers to the source of their food, and the ability to ensure that a product from a claimed source gets to a consumer, are critical. Source Certain’s services can provide this crucial connection. By providing accuracy, clarity and transparency in source claims, Source Certain builds confidence and trust in food and agricultural supply chains. Source Certain offers a real, science-based, security solution for food supply chains to combat food fraud and substitution. Source Certain utilises TSW TraceTM technology: a robust scientific method for the determination of provenance (source/origin). The technology was pioneered and developed commercially by TSW Analytical Pty Ltd, and the methods used are routinely employed as forensic tools, and delivered by expert Forensic Chemists and Investigators. The TSW TraceTM technology, as part of a Source Certain service, enables verification that the actual food that has travelled through the defined supply chain can be physically linked, through chemical analysis of the food itself, to its production source. This verification assurance is independent of packaging and label-based traceability security systems. This technology means the human intent to defraud is no longer relevant.
