Ambrosus, a globally decentralized blockchain and IoT platform, has partnered with NDS, a subsidiary of Korean food producer Nongshim, to track and trace beef sold by food retailer Mega Mart.
Using the AMB-NET blockchain, Ambrosus will pioneer a revolutionary beef-traceability model in Mega Mart that will let company partners and consumers easily access detailed information about the history and transportation surrounding each cut of beef, according to an announcement.
Ambrosus will be responsible for identifying and tracing all of Mega Mart’s beef using distributed ledger technology. It also will configure the data from each piece of meat into a consumer-oriented application. Through a QR code, the specific animal, its origin, the veterinarian’s health check of the meat and the transportation conditions of the product all will be accessible to the consumer through the scan of a smartphone.
Joong-Won Kim, CEO of NDS, said, “For the first time, blockchain technology can be leveraged to practically improve Korean food standards, especially for all customers of Mega Mart.”
Ambrosus, which has offices in Estonia, Ireland and Switzerland, said it is building a “universally verifiable, community-driven ecosystem” to ensure the quality, safety and origins of products.
