Abstract
Food traceability can be used to quickly pinpoint problematic links and minimise the risks associated with food safety incidents by viewing the trajectory of food circulation after a food safety incident has occurred. Blockchain, as an emerging technology with characteristics such as decentralisation, asymmetric encryption, tamper-proof and traceability, can be used to generate link traceability technology, which provides great convenience for us to effectively regulate food safety. In response to the need for multiple parties to share information in the traditional food safety traceability system there are many problems such as non-uniformity of the traceability chain, user cultivation and high traceability costs. This paper introduces Blockchain technology to improve the food safety traceability system, using the decentralised and fully distributed DNS service provided by Blockchain to achieve domain name query and resolution through peer-to-peer data transfer services between various nodes in the network, which can be used to ensure that the operating system and firmware of the infrastructure of the food production process have not been tampered with, introducing QR code technology, RFID, ZigBee.Web Web server and other key IoT technologies to achieve information identification and coding for identifying production objects, and identify the bottlenecks that limit the performance of the system by analysing and studying the consensus mechanism of the super ledger Fabric, and use smart contracts and consensus mechanisms as support to build food safety data assurance and food supervision methods to improve overall traceability efficiency.
