GLOBAL PARADIGMS IN FOOD SAFETY AND CONTROL NAVIGATING INSTITUTIONAL VOIDS THROUGH DECENTRALIZED GOVERNANCE

In the modern global context, the emergence of platform-centric food systems and ghost kitchens has opened up important “institutional voids,” where conventional centralized oversight mechanisms fail to maintain regulatory visibility. The shift away from reactive inspection models relying on paper systems to a new global paradigm where decentralized governance and Real-time Data Control (RDC) become crucial. In integrating multi-modal AI pipelines, IoT sensors, and blockchain-based distributed ledgers, these emerging frameworks enable a “Predictive Safety Shield” that identifies pathogenic risks with 95% accuracy before products reach the consumer.
