Abstract

Accessibility to safe food & nutrition is sin-qua-non for physical & mental health. Ironically, securing safe food & nutrition has been going concern around the world. World Health Organization (WHO) states that 1.6 million people worldwide become ill every day from contaminated food caused by bacteria, viruses, parasites. In Bangladesh, this issue is very severe to light upon instantaneously. Most of the food stuffs manufactured and processed in Bangladesh are unsafe for consumption or adulterated to varying degrees. Excessive use of formalin & DDT in food along with toxic colour in food and unhygienic food handling are the significant reasons of cancer specially breast cancer, liver cancer, & pancreatic cancer along with adverse effects on reproductive issue & child mortality. Besides, factories for counterfeit products including chocolates, milk, oils , cosmetics of branded companies have been found in all most every district of country. The purpose of our study is to understand the current scenario of food contamination at every level of supply chain as well as to explore how data science & block chain can be coined together to ensure food safety for consumers. Like the densely population, different confrontations for examples sluggish law enforcement, ignorance, social security, lower economic pattern have to be solaced down to develop proper frame work to secure food safety in Bangladesh.
