Food companies Labeyrie and Gruppo Grigi have joined IBM’s Food Trust blockchain system, with Labeyrie tracking Aliveris smoked salmon and Gruppo Grigi monitoring its Norwegian pasta brand. Customers will be able to use a QR code on packaging to trace the origins and authenticity of the products. Several firms have now joined the IBM blockchain, including Carrefour, Walmart and Raw Seafoods. The Food Trust uses Hyperledger Fabric technology. Demand for tracking from consumers has followed a WHO report that 10% of people annually suffer food-carried diseases.
