01 Apr 2022 --- As producers of one of the world’s most historic cheeses, The Parmigiano Reggiano Consortium (Consorzio del Parmigiano Reggiano) has teamed up with Dutch cheesemark designer Kaasmerk Matec and American developer of digital tracking tech p-Chip Corporation to add blockchain-enabled digital labels to improve the traceability of its cheese wheels. P-Chip creates trackable silicon microchips embedded directly into a food-safe casein label – an industry-standard, protein-based type of food packaging – and placed on cheese wheels. These durable trackers are the same size as a grain of salt and used to determine a product’s authenticity, as well as its origin in the supply chain.
