In the last few decades, there has been an increase in food safety and traceability issues. To prevent accidents and misconduct, it became essential to establish Food Safety Traceability System (FSTS) to trace the food from producer to consumer. The traceability systems can help track food in supply chains from farms to retail. Numerous technologies such as Radio Frequency Identification (RFID), sensor networks, and data mining have been integrated into traditional food supply chain systems to remove unsafe food products from the chain. But, these are not adequate for the current supply chain market. The emerging technology of blockchain can overcome safety and tracking issues. This can be possible with the help of blockchain features like transparent, decentralized, distributed, and immutable. Most of the previous works missed the discussion of the systematic process and technology involved in implementing the FSTS using blockchain. In this paper, we have discussed an organized state of research of the existing FSTS using blockchain. This survey paper aims to outline a detailed analysis of blockchain technology, FSTS using blockchain, consensus algorithms, security attacks, and solutions. Several survey papers and solutions based on blockchain are included in this research paper. Also, this work discusses some of the open research issues related to FSTS.
在过去几十年里，食品安全和可追溯性问题不断增加。为防止事故和不当行为，建立食品安全追溯系统（FSTS）以追踪食品从生产者到消费者的流向变得至关重要。追溯系统有助于在从农场到零售的供应链中追踪食品。诸如射频识别（RFID）、传感器网络和数据挖掘等众多技术已被集成到传统食品供应链系统中，以将不安全食品从供应链中剔除。但是，这些技术对于当前的供应链市场来说并不足够。新兴的区块链技术可以克服安全和追踪问题。借助区块链透明、去中心化、分布式和不可变等特性，这是可行的。之前的大多数工作都忽略了使用区块链实施FSTS所涉及的系统流程和技术的讨论。在本文中，我们讨论了使用区块链的现有FSTS的研究现状。这篇综述论文旨在概述对区块链技术、使用区块链的FSTS、共识算法、安全攻击及解决方案的详细分析。本研究论文纳入了几篇基于区块链的综述论文和解决方案。此外，这项工作还讨论了一些与FSTS相关的开放研究问题。
