Service: Traceability of meat and milk

Responsible organisation: Regione Lombardia per la trasformazione digitale (Regional Government)

Lombardy Region launched its own blockchain for the traceability of agri-food products in order to meet the needs of consumers and offer a new communication tool to companies. Consumers who find meat and milk products in supermarkets can trace the history of the package simply by scanning the QRcode printed on the label. This way they can have access to information pages containing public administration and companies data. For example, for a liter of milk it will be possible to know the results of the inspections of the regional health inspectors at the farms (use of drugs, health of the animals, hygiene of the structures, etc.) and at the processing plants. Not to mention the controls of third-party companies regarding, for example, animal welfare.
