Blockchain-Integrated AI Systems for Contamination Prediction in Ready-to-Eat Foods: A Systematic Review
Nwanneka Joseph
Abstract: The integration of blockchain and artificial intelligence (AI) technology is an emerging approach to enhancing traceability and contamination prediction in the ready-to-eat (RTE) food industry. This systematic review evaluates the current research on blockchain-integrated AI systems, examining their applications in food safety, supply chain transparency, and contamination risk prediction. A comprehensive analysis of reports, articles, and case studies assesses the effectiveness, challenges, and future prospects of these technologies. The findings highlight blockchain-AI integration as a promising solution for RTE food safety while identifying key gaps in scalability, interoperability, and regulatory compliance. This review provides a framework for future research and practical implementation in the food industry.
