According to the World Health Organization (WHO), one out of 10 people get sick from eating contaminated food. Complex food production process and globalization make food supply chain more delicate. Many technologies have been investigated in recent years to address food insecurity and achieve efficiency in dealing with food recalls. One of the most promising technologies is Blockchain, which has already been used successfully in financial aspects, such as bitcoin, and it is attracting interests from food supply chain organizations. As blockchain has characteristics, such as decentralization, security, immutability, smart contract, it is therefore expected to improve sustainable food supply chain management and food traceability. This paper applies a content-analysis based literature review in blockchain adoption within food supply chain. We propose four benefits. Blockchain can help to improve food traceability, information transparency, and recall efficiency; it can also be combined with Internet of things (IoT) to achieve better efficiency. We also propose five potential challenges, including lack of deeper understanding of blockchain, technology difficulties, raw data manipulation, difficulties of getting all stakeholders on board, and the deficiency of regulations.

Abstract This study gives on overview of food safety tools that have been developed recently through the perspective of the animal origin food supply chain. It introduced some expected food safety legal issues, new technological outbreaks, food safety culture outlined in latest versions of food safety management system standards and tools applicable for the entire supply chains. Finally, the paper briefly shows some incentives associated with food safety and Covid-19 as well as the role of UN Sustainable Development Goals in animal origin food.

Food traceability has an important role in maintaining the sustainability of the food supply chain. Every player in a food supply chain must be able to create an internal and external traceability so that the chain traceability can be formed. However, building a suitable food traceability system is not an easy task. The development of a food traceability system has been identified as a complex problem due to the difficulty of accommodating the varied characteristics of each stage in the food supply chain and the interdependence between stages in the food supply chain. Therefore, to solve these complex problems a multimethodology approach is proposed. The multimethodology approach is believed to be able to solve complex multidimensional problems. This article describes a framework for multimethodology in the development of a food traceability system that involves the integration of the Decision Making Trial and Evaluation Laboratory and Interpretive Structural Modeling (DEMATEL-ISM) and System Dynamics (SD). The vegetable oil industry which manages its products in bulk is an interesting case study for the development of a food traceability system because the upstream is in the commodity focused chain and the downstream is in the consumer driven value chain. Ultimately, the multi-methodological framework proved effective in answering the research question of "How to develop a suitable traceability system for the bulk vegetable oil industry?"
