# Real Example: Food Supply Chain Traceability and Consumer Engagement by UNISOT

**The Problem**

* **Complex global supply chains** obscure food product origins
* **Traditional systems create fragmentation** across multiple parties
* **Lack of transparency** in food chain from farm to consumer
* **Slow response times** during contamination events or recalls

### Blockchain Solution: Digital Product Passport by UNISOT (End-to-End Visibility)

Every product movement recorded in real-time on the blockchain:

**From Farm:**

* Farm of origin with **GPS coordinates** and farming practices
* **Harvest date** and batch identification
* **Quality metrics** at harvest

**Through Processing:**

* **Processing facility details** with timestamps
* **Handling conditions** and quality checks
* **Ingredient tracking** for processed foods

**During Distribution:**

* **Distribution path** documenting each handoff
* **Temperature and handling conditions** throughout journey
* **Chain of custody** verification

**To Retail:**

* **Retail location** and point of sale
* **Storage conditions** until purchase

### Consumer Transparency

From farm to fork with integrity: Deploying a blend of **Blockchain and IoT**, the entire food supply chain can now unfold transparently before consumers' eyes, ensuring that what reaches their table is **pure, ethical, and accountable**.

**Features:**

* **QR code or RFID scanning** provides complete supply chain visibility
* **Branding information** combined with provable, verified supply chain data
* **Quality feedback mechanisms** allowing consumers to rate products
* **Direct communication channel** between producer and consumer

### Additional Regulatory Context

**European regulation now requires** supply chain sustainability and traceability, with **digital product passports becoming mandatory**. Companies exporting to or doing business with Europe must follow these new laws.

**Business Value:** Reduce recall response time from **days to hours**. Minimize recall scope and costs. Meet regulatory requirements efficiently. Provide consumers with transparency they increasingly demand.
