A scoping review, using the PRISMA protocol, investigated the role of blockchain technology in both conventional and cultured meat supply chains. The study, which analyzed 14 peer-reviewed articles from Scopus and Web of Science, found that blockchain significantly improves traceability, trust, and regulatory compliance by creating auditable data trails and enhancing collaboration among stakeholders. The integration of the Internet of Things (IoT) further boosts monitoring capabilities. However, challenges such as high implementation costs, a lack of data interoperability, and the absence of standardized protocols are major barriers to wider adoption. The review concludes that future research should focus on addressing these challenges and exploring blockchain’s potential within the emerging cultured meat industry.
