Enhancing Consumer Safety with Blockchain Technology

In California, the cannabis industry frequently issues product recall and safety notices due to various issues (DCC), impacting consumer trust and product safety. This trend is not isolated; similar recalls occur in the food industry across Europe and other regions, highlighting a global challenge in ensuring product safety and effective communication with consumers.

For instance, Europe has seen recalls of contaminated dairy products due to harmful substances and salmonella contamination in baby milk powder. In the United States, the food industry has faced numerous recalls, such as the romaine lettuce E. coli outbreak that led to the removal of lettuce products from stores nationwide.

Organizations such as the European Rapid Alert System for Food and Feed (RASFF) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA),  in the United States play crucial roles in combating health risks and fraud that endanger consumers. However, current methods of communicating these alerts often fall short, failing to protect consumers effectively. General alerts often go unnoticed or unnecessarily affect unaffected products, highlighting the need for more precise and efficient communication methods.

BlockTac’s single-use digital seals offer a groundbreaking solution. These seals uniquely identify each product unit, ensuring authenticity and traceability. Beyond these features, they provide an extraordinary channel for one-on-one communication with consumers. In cases of product issues, these digital seals can directly alert affected consumers with precise information, avoiding unnecessary panic and ensuring only the impacted products are targeted.
