Continuing with the articles on applications of blockchain technology today I inform you about a very interesting application that is being implemented by Zego, the leading company in the manufacture of energy bars free of gluten and food allergens.

Zego has developed a system of chemical analysis of its products based on the blockchain. This system allows to analyze food products from their origin and to determine the presence of allergens and gluten in their products.

The most novel has been the inclusion in the analysis system of the glyphosate chemical component. This component used in some herbicides has recently caused great controversy, since according to some studies it is related to possible cases of people who developed cancer after exposure to glyphosate.

The company Monsanto has recently had to pay a fine of 289 million dollars for the claim of a person who became ill with cancer allegedly for the consumption of Monsanto products containing glyphosate.

We celebrate that the Zego company is using blockchain technology to safeguard the food safety of its products. With the development of these new technologies the consumer can be more sure of the ingredients of the products he consumes and that these will not cause damage to his health.
