The present paper aims to review the use of blockchain technology to improve traceability and prevent fraud in the food supply chain. With the growing complexity of global food systems, traditional traceability methods are often insufficient to guarantee transparency and data reliability. The main objective of this work is to analyze how blockchain can enhance information accuracy, strengthen consumer trust, and support food safety management across different stages of the supply chain. Blockchain provides a decentralized and secure structure for recording transactions, offering verified information accessible to all stakeholders. The integration with technologies such as IoT, RFID, and Big Data enables real-time monitoring of products from production to retail. Although its large-scale implementation still faces technical and regulatory challenges, the technology has strong potential to support a safer, more transparent, and sustainable food system.
