Toward that inspiration, Scantrust and Unilever presented a<a href=\"https:\/\/cms.scantrust.com\/case-study\/cpg-brand-loyalty-through-connected-packaging-knorr-case-study\/\"> project <\/a>that tracks the source of pork meat ingredients for a Knorr Vietnam product \u2013 a <a href=\"https:\/\/cms.scantrust.com\/food-traceability-solutions-qr-codes\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">food traceability project<\/a> that went into production in Vietnam. The Scantrust app allows a consumer to <a href=\"\/supply-chain-traceability-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">scan a unique Scantrust QR code <\/a>on Knorr soup packs to learn about:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What farm the ingredients come from<\/li>\n<li>When the pig was slaughtered and processed<\/li>\n<li>When the soup product was made and packaged<\/li>\n<li>Related product information<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n<figure\n  class=\"post-image\"\n  style=\"text-align: left;\" id=\"\">\n  <picture>\n          <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\"\n        class=\"post-image__img\"\n        src=\"https:\/\/cms.scantrust.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/scantrust-unilever-food-traceability.jpg\"\n        alt=\"scantrust-unilever-food-traceability\"\n        width=\"800\"\n        height=\"350\"\n      >\n      <\/picture>\n  <\/figure>\n\n<div class=\"post-text \" id=\"\"><p>This project is an important case study and was the ideal encouragement for all participants in the Food Quality track at Strike2Summit because it shows that we&#8217;ve moved on from the proof-of-concept stage to a live blockchain solution in the food industry. Millions of Vietnamese consumers have been able to scan Knorr soup packs with the Scantrust Knorr app giving them instant access to the entire provenance history of their soup ingredients.<\/p>\n<p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The ensuing discussion and Q&amp;A session were intense and fortunately productive.

How do farmers benefit from consumer food provenance solutions? How can we scale the Knorr case study to other markets and brands? What hurdles prevent further adoption of more blockchain-based food provenance solutions? Just about every track participant had their own opinions to contribute around food quality and proposed solutions. That was, after all, the point. With the use-case providing a tangible starting point as an important reminder that blockchain food quality solutions at scale are already a reality, the goal was, and continues to be, moving on to the next project and the next implementation.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The panel discussion wrapped up the inspirational segment of the &#8220;Food Quality&#8221; track. Next up was a joint analysis on how to solve the main challenges that were encountered with the Scantrust Knorr app:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The Knorr provenance data came from a relatively small, local Vietnamese supply chain. Rolling out the same solution on a larger scale will require many more suppliers working together. How can this be achieved? How can we convince disparate suppliers to join a blockchain network?<\/li>\n<li>Smart packaging is, admittedly, in its infancy in Europe, though growing in adoption. What needs to be done to increase the percentage of European consumers interacting with their product packages, namely scanning QR codes?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><!-- \/wp:list --> <!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>Track participants set about the task of preparing a convincing pitch to give the track organizers. The \u201csolution market\u201d, an open area at the conference, where different providers were exhibiting their solutions, was one source of solutions that was fair play, but the heavy lifting needed to come from the creativity among the group members. After 2 hours of preparation, the ideas were pitched and the jury deliberated to choose which three concepts would be brought over to the day 2 activity.<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n  <h2\n    id=\"\"\n    class=\"post-title\"\n    style=\"\n      color: #222;\n      max-width: none;\n      text-align: left;\n    \"\n    >\n    Conclusion of the food traceability solutions event\n  <\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"post-text \" id=\"\"><p><!-- wp:paragraph --><\/p>\n<p>The Strike2Summit left us with a few key takeaways:<\/p>\n<p><!-- \/wp:paragraph --> <!-- wp:list {\"ordered\":true} --><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The food industry is under pressure from consumers to reveal food provenance.
