(In general, a blockchain is a digital database containing information that can be simultaneously used and shared within a large decentralized, publicly accessible network.)

Specifically, the pilot program must, to the extent practicable, use blockchain technology to (1) trace food that may be adulterated and food that has been subject to a voluntary or mandatory recall; and (2) verify that food labeled as organic has been produced and handled in accordance with specific organic certification standards.

The Department of Agriculture must enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Food and Drug Administration to implement the program.
