(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 19 - The possibility of tracing, via Blockchain technology, food for takeaway and home delivery and certifying the origin of all the ingredients used and the processing methods.
This is what the free Authentico app, created by the startup of the same name, releases Certifood, an intelligent label that allows the restaurant owner to guarantee his customers a higher level of food safety. An adhesive label with a QR code is affixed to each prepared product. The customer, who scans the code with his smartphone, will be able to verify compliance with the food hygiene practices of the food he has purchased and consume it in complete safety.
"With the blockchain we are able to ensure the traceability of the preparation of a ready dish or a pizza", explains the CEO of Authentico Pino Coletti.
The service has already been adopted experimentally by a pizzeria in Naples which will now affix the label with the QR Code on each package.
According to research by the FIPE Study Center, one in four consumers do not order food for delivery due to the fear of contagion and 57% think they will reduce or cancel the opportunity to consume outside the home because they are held back by fear of failure to comply with the rules. (HANDLE).
