The blockchain technology has been increasingly applied in industrial use-cases in recent years. Althoughthe food industry fits in particular with the requirements for blockchain applications, since the actors barelyknow each other and trust plays a crucial role, it is not widely established in the food industry. There areefforts to increase transparency and enable traceability in food supply chains by applying blockchaintechnology to share data in a trustworthy way across companies and to ensure food quality standards. Thistechnology can be further used to enable the identification of inconsistencies in sensor data and moreefficient handling of food recalls across the food supply chain. The success of a new technology depends toa large extent on its acceptance by companies and their employees. This paper deals with the acceptance ofsuch a blockchain application and presents a systematic literature review to summarize the methods andresults of acceptance analyses of the blockchain technology in food supply chain s. Particular attention hasbeen devoted to traceability. For this objective, research is analysed based on scientific methods and theresults are systematically analysed.
