Risk assessment experts on the identification of food safety priorities using the Delphi technique stated that foodborne viruses were among the top-rated food safety priorities and have become of great concern to the food industry over the past few years. Food safety experts agreed that control measures for viruses throughout the food chain are required. However understanding with regard to the effective controls and how to properly validate performance whether it is the personal hygiene of food handlers the processing of at-risk foods or the interpretation and action required on a positive virus test result. Multiple techniques and technologies have been developed for viral detection and control. In addition there are gaps in understanding and future perspectives on the application of viral detection and control strategies for the food industry along with suggestions on how the food industry should implement effective control strategies for viruses in foods. We will address the current state of the food supply chain and the greatest impact using science on the public health burden risk assessment and management options from harvest to consumption. IoT AI and blockchain play a part as an enabler of digital supply networks and ecosystems that are connected intelligent collaborative and trusted. Integrated these disruptive technologies add great value by achieving a safe farm to table supply chain model. Integration between IoT platforms and supply chain management systems bring richer more highly granular datasets into the mix; AI and machine learning enhanced system understanding; anchored to a blockchain network create cross boundary processes to blockchain-based smart contracts and create autonomous decentralized applications. With this all parties in the ecosystem behave as peers (where appropriate) and the blockchain enables them to trust in the data shared with them. Full lifecycle digital twins enable a blockchain to maintain a digital ledger that tracks the product along with predictive outcomes. IoT AI and blockchain add value to supply chain management in isolation; in combination they present the opportunity to set a new standard and to deliver a smarter well-defined intelligent autonomous food supply chain operation. Analytics and AI layered with verifiable data sources extend the 'process zone' to the ecosystem partners as smart contracts are executed. As supply chains evolve into networks and ecosystems; our expectation is to achieve an increasingly safe food supply chain impacting the health and security of this nation
