Abstract
The introduction of blockchain technology into the food supply chain represents a digital revolution that has led to widespread advances in tracking food security. This article presents a comprehensive review of the literature on the use of blockchain in the food supply chain. This article is a review of the synthesis evidence Best group. We have focused on the supply chains of meat, fruits and vegetables. The Literature review has been conducted from seven different databases. For more insight, we categorized meat, fruit, and vegetable articles into four groups: descriptive, prescriptive, conceptual, and predictive. Due to the small number of case studies in research, the theoretical and conceptual frameworks proposed in most food supply chain articles, including the supply chain of meat, fruits and vegetables, have been less tested in reality. These surveys and small-scale case studies do not clearly and completely identify the impact of blockchain on the meat, fruit and vegetable supply chain and the challenges that blockchain implementation may pose to these supply chains. Findings indicate that little valid and quality research has been done in this field and more research is needed on the use of blockchain in the supply chain of fresh products.

Abstract
This research discusses the application of the Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method in designing a blockchain system for mitigating food safety and halal risks in the beef supply chain. The complexity of the meat supply chain involving various parties increasing the risk of contamination and changes in the halal status of the meat. This research aims to identify food safety and halal risks, prioritise the risks, and design blockchain-based mitigation solutions. Blockchain was chosen for its advantages in providing high transparency and accountability, enabling real-time tracking at every stage of the supply chain. The research results show that most of the risks in the meat supply chain fall into the low category, but there are some critical medium risks, especially related to the slaughtering process. The proposed blockchain design includes product traceability features, halal certification, temperature monitoring, and smart contracts to ensure automatic validation of food safety and halal compliance. The implementation of this blockchain is expected to increase consumer trust in meat products, reduce the risk of contamination, and strengthen accountability throughout the meat supply chain.
