Last week, the world's largest food and beverage company and
a French supermarket chain announced a blockchain pilot aimed at
providing transparency to consumers on the supply chain of a
leading brand of infant formula. Leveraging the Hyperledger-based
Food Trust platform, consumers can scan a QR code with a smartphone
to access information on the formula's path from dairy to
shelf. In related news, this week, one of the world's leading
fish farming operations announced a similar solution, also built on
the Food Trust Platform, which allows consumers to pull up the CV
of salmon, including information regarding the fish's origin
and health history, by scanning a QR code. And last week, an
American logistics giant announced the successful delivery of a
blockchain-verified beef shipment from Kansas to Tokyo, for a meal
that was served to U.S. Embassy and Japanese officials.
