Food Safety

Definition

Food safety pertains to the conditions and practices required to preserve the quality of food and prevent contamination, illness, or injury from its consumption. In the context of supply chain management, particularly with blockchain integration, it involves tracking food products from origin to consumer to ensure authenticity and compliance with health standards. Blockchain technology offers a transparent and immutable record of each stage in the food supply chain, enhancing traceability and accountability. This helps verify product integrity and swiftly address contamination events.
