Where did my truffle salt come from?

Hello all, this is TEMCO!

Let’s take a journey with Truffle salt! How can we verify the quality of food products?

Truffles have been favored by many chefs, restaurant owners and foodies all around the world. Nowadays the truffles are becoming even more popular, and the prices of the truffles are rising, even some products with low contents of truffles are at prices higher than you may think.

As the demand for truffles rises, the demand for truffle related food products and general demand for fresher and higher quality food products have been rising as well. Using QR codes (attached on the container/boxes of the food products) linked to blockchain, can help us achieve this goal of getting more of the fresh and quality food products and increase trust between the consumers and the manufacturers.

We can scan a QR code to find out about a specific manufacturer’s information, supply chain information and details about the product quickly on the blockchain database. For example, how the truffle salt can be delivered at our doorsteps or to a local grocery store. This may help us understand how blockchain technology benefits us as consumers when we are purchasing highly sensitive food products. So, let’s take a closer look at the journey of truffle salt and see how blockchain technology can help us receive the most fresh and trustworthy products from a manufacturer.

So, let’s look at an example of purchasing the truffle salt through an online supplier. We can expect it to be at a lower price, but we may have to consider the quality of the product and possible care damage during the delivery process, thinking that it may not be so easy purchasing it directly from a manufacturer or a large distributor online or even a local grocery store, not knowing much about their delivery process.

Now that we know some things to consider when we are purchasing a product directly from a manufacturer, we have to question the quality and freshness of it. However, what if we can check the quality of the truffle salt by checking the circulation process using blockchain technology and its database? By obtaining the QR code at the beginning of the transaction or as it is displayed next to the product on the online page, we can use this QR code to get more detailed information about the product directly from the manufacturer before we purchase it.

If we utilize the QR code, we can check more diverse and accurate information about the product other than just the circulation process. We can find out more about the manufacturer of the truffle salt and since it is a sensitive food product, we can check its manufacturing process. Such as whether or not the manufacturer used the proper sanitary procedure, known for featuring quality products, use pesticides or not, and if it is organic or not. After the production, we can also check the temperature, humidity, and if contaminants were found until it gets transferred out for delivery.

We can also check whether the product was transported correctly. Whether it was transported through the air, sea, or ground transportation, and how the product was kept during the delivery process. Using the information from IoT sensors, we can check whether there was any damage occurred on the product during the circulation process.

Also detailed information about the distributors or the re-distributors during the circulation process can be done through the information provided from scanning the QR code as well. Where the product was stationed, the location of the distributor, company information, receiving date and send out date, and the length of time it was preserved. In addition, since the truffle salt is a sensitive product, we can check how it was preserved or stored in the distribution center, using the QR code system again, checking the blockchain database.
