Press Release Summary: Profitability in BioTerrorism Act Proven by TraceGains

Press Release Body: By providing real-time bi-directional supply chain transparency
and traceability, TraceGains reduces risks to the corporation and its executives,
who may become personally liable in case of a recall. Positively Assured
Traceability provides the following essential capabilities:
. Continuous attribute visibility for each incoming ingredient received.
. Identity preservation across commingling, batching, blending, transformation, and
re-work.
. Continuous comparison between on-floor activities, business rules, and compliancy
requirements.

In an effort to further enhance federal and state efforts to prepare for and respond
to the threat of bioterrorism and other public health emergencies, the Congress
enacted the Public Health Security and Bioterrorism Response Act. The Act addresses
national, state, and local preparedness and response planning and security issues.
The Act also addresses other related public health security issues. Some of these
provisions include:

. new controls on biological agents and toxins,
. additional safety and security measures affecting the nation\'s food and drug supply,
. additional safety and security measures affecting the nation\'s drinking water,
. measures affecting the Strategic National Stockpile and development of priority
countermeasures to bioterrorism.

companies, its officers and executives, and consumers, but goes beyond to turn data
