Kernel Capital invests €900k in Clare food diagnostic company AltraTech
The Co Clare company — formed only six months ago by serial entrepreneur, Tim Cummins — has been developing a single-use portable semiconductor test kit for use in the food and agri-sectors. End users can, basically, use the product to identify food content and containments, with the kit being animal species-specific.
“With the horsemeat scandal of 2013 showing that major gaps still exist in ensuring that the food we consume is safe and authentic, there is an ever-increasing focus on food traceability,” Kernel Capital said.
