When Vishaal B. Bhuyan found himself with a seemingly
insurmountable supply chain issue, he
never expected his journey would lead to a revolutionary new
approach to food safety. With the
help of a synthetic biologist, they created traceable tags that not
only allowed for better tracking but could also kill
pathogens. But will this breakthrough technology be adopted?
Vishaal B. Bhuyan, CEO of Aanika Biosciences, explains the
importance of food safety, the
potential that’s out there to enhance this safety, and more.
Key takeaways:
- Food safety is not only important for people, but it’s vital
for businesses. Vishaal says it’s
important for companies to have insurance to cover incidents like this. In fact, a
company he knows lost 30% of its top line revenue from this. - Aanika is creating cutting-edge technology to combat pathogens
in food. They
developed a probiotic microorganism that's been deactivated which contains a unique
DNA sequence does things like addressing pathogen growth, killing pathogens, and
many different secondary functions. - The value between biology and insurance is incredibly valuable.
Aanika’s insurance
program converts this thing that many people don't understand–but need–into a
digestible narrative around cost savings.
