A third-party verification and certification service that audits shrimp at the source (farms, processors, importers) using rapid species-identification testing (DNA barcoding or morphological imaging) and origin documentation validation. Certified shrimp receive a tamper-evident label and blockchain-backed certificate that restaurants and retailers can scan to verify authenticity before purchase or at point-of-sale.

Seafood suppliers and restaurants struggle to prevent mislabeled shrimp from reaching consumersSeafood businesses face significant regulatory and reputational risks when shrimp is mislabeled—either sold as a different species or origin than advertised. This creates compliance headaches for suppliers, restaurants, and retailers who must verify authenticity throughout the supply chain, while consumers unknowingly purchase misrepresented products. Current manual inspection and documentation systems fail to catch fraud consistently, leading to regulatory crackdowns and loss of consumer trust.
