Abstract

Food safety traceability is an important method used to guarantee food safety, but the traditional data center-based food safety traceability system is not of strong data security. A blockchain-based food safety traceability system was constructed in this study and divided into four layers using a hyperledger architecture. It is verified through a test that the traceability system with blockchain technology can effectively prevent nodes from tampering data, so the data becomes safer and more credible.
