The U.K.’s Food Standards Agency (FSA), a safety watchdog, announced Monday it has successfully piloted a blockchain-based supply chain monitoring system.
The trial tracked meat produced in an unnamed cattle slaughterhouse, providing “improved transparency” throughout the supply chain, according to a press release.
FSA head of information management Sian Thomas said in a statement that his agency thought “blockchain technology might add real value to a part of the food industry.”
A slaughterhouse in particular was chosen because its “work requires a lot of inspection and collation of results,” he said.
Walmart, JD.com, Alibaba, Cargill and CBH Group are just some of the firms which are using blockchain to track food items.
