Buhler has launched food safety blockchain-ready tools Laatu and Tubex Pro to reduce microbial contamination, accelerate data checking and cut food waste. The company said Laatu could destroy more than 99.999% of salmonella without compromising nutritional value, and could also tackle E.coli and spores. Meanwhile, Tubex Pro provides data to the Buhler Insights platform and both systems generate a secure and transparent supply chain trail. “Blockchains are changing how we think about food, but they can be used for so much more,” says Buhler.
