Recent food scandals in India have heightened concerns regarding food safety and trust in food establishments. As current distribution channels struggle to meet market demands, there’s a pressing need for a robust food traceability system. This paper proposes such a system, utilizing blockchain technology and QR codes to track food items throughout the supply chain. It examines the advantages and disadvantages of decentralized systems, highlighting their role in ensuring traceability, transparency, efficiency, reliability, and security. The proposed system aims to provide comprehensive traceability, leveraging features like distributed ledgers and decentralized systems, which offer immutability, transparency, consensus, disintermediation, and smart contracts. Food security, encompassing both availability and access to food, is vital. A key aspect of food security is ensuring the safety and quality of goods within the supply chain. Promoting organic and wholesome foods can enhance the supply chain. Despite regulatory approval of packaged goods, there’s a lack of regular testing and assessment of the available supply in the market. This paper underscores the urgency for a secure and reliable food traceability system to safeguard consumer health and restore trust in the food market emphasizing its capacity to mitigate risks, optimize operations, and bolster consumer confidence in the food supply chain.
