Chipotle is another example where supply chain issues contributed to outbreaks of e coli.
It’s because the restaurant wanted to foster a fresh & healthy image that they moved most food prep into the local restaurants but this actually lead to unsanitary conditions as workers did not follow proper food handling guidelines.
Ironically, they were forced to prep more food ahead of time at central distribution centers and ship it pre-packaged to stores. During the outbreaks, they weren’t able to easily track down the source of contamination because ingredients were “pooled” centrally and they were unable to discern exactly which supplier was at fault.
I can see how blockchain can potentially offer some solutions once you get past all the “Bitcoin” hype.
