Food Traceability: A Cutting Edge Blockchain-Powered Revolution

Fostering unparalleled ingredient traceability and transparency by meticulously tracking the point-to-point journey of food through the entire supply chain, fostering transaction-based trust.

The Critical Role of Food Traceability in Safeguarding Health and Trust

Food traceability is paramount for public health and safety, as emphasized by the World Health Organization, reporting 420,000 annual deaths and 10% of the global population affected by foodborne illnesses. In foodborne illness outbreaks, the absence of traceability hinders swift source identification, leading to delayed responses and a higher number of affected individuals. Lack of traceability contributes to extensive and costly recalls for contaminated or unsafe food products, jeopardizing brand reputation and public health. Insufficient information about the origin and journey of food products raises consumer scepticism and concerns about safety and quality.

FoodTraze, our innovative Hyperledger Fabric and Blockchain powered solution, tackles this issue by meticulously tracing food through the ingredient as well as the supply chain, swiftly identifying the source of contamination. Beyond enhancing public safety, FoodTraze has significant economic implications. In the event of contamination, it provides accurate supply chain information for the selective removal of defective items, minimizing losses for producers compared to broad product bans. Digitizing food safety through blockchain technology ensures transparency and trust. FoodTrazes integration into the supply chain exemplifies this, offering unparalleled ingredient and food supply chain traceability and transaction-based trust.
