SO. ST. PAUL, Minn.-- Digital Angel (the “Company”) (NASDAQ:DIGA), an advanced technology company in the field of identification solutions for food safety and tracking of high-value assets, announced today that it is the second largest supplier of radio frequency identification (RFID) tags for Canada’s mandatory cattle identification program.

The Company’s products play a key role in identifying diseased cattle before they enter the food supply and tracing other animals that may have been exposed. In January 2005, the Canadian government instituted a mandatory RFID cattle identification program following previous confirmed cases of bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE) in Canada. Earlier this week, a six-year-old dairy cow infected with BSE was discovered in Alberta.

Joseph J. Grillo, President and Chief Executive Officer of Digital Angel, said, “As one of the largest suppliers of RFID tags and readers in Canada, we are pleased to provide the tools that help make Canada’s RFID-based cattle health surveillance system effective. In fact, Canada is seen as a world leader in cattle identification, and we believe its traceback program aided the identification of a cow infected with BSE before it was able to enter the food supply.”
