Today EY announced it was selected by frozen food distribution firm Bofrost Italia to create a food traceability blockchain solution. The project aims to give customers a transparent view of the origin of their frozen food, claiming to be one of the first of its kind. The traceability solution will be developed in EY’s OpsChain platform, which is specifically for creating enterprise distributed ledger technology (DLT) systems. This project will run on Ethereum’s public blockchain, though the OpsChain platform also has a private permissioned version as well.

The first products will be frozen cod fillets and artichoke hearts.
