Olive Oil -- tracked by IBM Blockchain Technology
-
I bought some olive oil from Costco.
Lol and behold, there is a card accompanying the product that says it's tracked by IBM Blockchain Technology and that I can trace the provenance of the olive oil by scanning the QR code on the bottle.
Sure enough, I found the QR code and scanned it, which brought me to a website that then asks for a "lot number."
I found the "lot number" printed on the bottle and typed it in, and voila, this is what I get:
https://terradelyssa.fr/clients/00505/5AL122542697-2024
That webpage tells me a lot of things, like when and where the olives were harvested, when they were first pressed, where/when it was stored, laboratory tested, filtered, bottled, analyzed, etc.
I sure don't the capability to independently verify any of the information, or that a blockchain is actually used. Not sure how much I should care, or if I think this is a good use of blockchain technology.
Thoughts?

I have a couple of bottles of olive oil from Costco too. I should try that!
I appreciate that they state the harvest date on the label. They should all do that.
