Food-safe RFID tags

Our plastic RFID tags were developed during a wild fish stock assessment project for the New Zealand Government. Any tagged fish that entered the human food chain had to be safe to eat. Glass tags were too risky, so we developed a food-safe alternative.

Our food-safe tags are made with FDA-approved surgical plastics, they can withstand extreme temperature, pressure and shock, and they are compatible with most RFID scanners.

Our tags can be used in industrial and biological injectible applications. Wherever you see a need for this technology, ENSID can work with you to develop customised solutions.

For more information, see:

a test report describing field trial results (1.6MB PDF).

Partners

Hella Marine recognised the technical challenges of developing a food-safe tag, and made their world-class New Zealand R&D facilities available to us. There we developed the plastic infusion technology for our food-safe tags, now manufactured by the world’s largest maker of RFID transponders, Sokymat.

Our food-safe tags were first used by New Zealand research organisation NIWA to tag 22,000 wild fish. As a key science partner, NIWA provides ENSID with access to groundbreaking research, top scientific minds, and expert project management skills.
