How is Decapolis Transforming Food Safety Measures

Even an experienced eye cannot always tell whether a fruit or vegetable is fresh or free from contamination. But now there is a way to allow sellers, and most importantly, consumers, to know if the food they’re purchasing is both fresh and safe to consume based on a rigorous validation of international safety and quality standards.

About The Solution

The Decapolis Food Guard platform validates Safety and Quality on a batch-by-batch basis, by means of an unbroken chain of tamper-proof records using an advanced dynamic system on top of the Blockchain technology. These records contain measurements and assessments at each step of production. The Platform gathers this data to verify compliance with selected International and local food safety and quality Standards.

The finished goods produced under the watchful eye of the DFG platform will be marked with a QR code stamp. It will be recorded for access on a permissioned website for wholesalers and retailers to review. The consumer can also scan the QR code at the point of sale to allow finished goods to be traced back through the DFG chain of records.

The Inspiration Behind The Name Decapolis

The Decapolis name has a lot of depth and history. Decapolis dates back to 63 BC and is based on the ten cities of the Eastern Levant of the Roman Empire, seven of which are in Jordan. These large cities were highly efficient, collaborative, and united their manufacturing, production, and militaries. They implemented common standards and practices to ensure the health and economic wellbeing of their communities and their industrial base. This represents the passion and mission of Decapolis as a company.

Why Was This Platform Created?

Prior to founding Decapolis, CEO Abdelrahman Habashneh struggled to find consistency in the quality of the raw materials provided by suppliers in his previous olive oil company. “The biggest issue I faced with my suppliers was the varying standards of the materials they delivered,” Abdelrahman recalled. “This would result in quality problems for end customers. Decapolis was founded to address these challenges. The Decapolis platform serves as a monitor of the food supply chain before it reaches the consumer, ensuring consistency, safety, and higher profits for the producer.”
