Finally, applying robots in the processes increases production speed, eliminates delays, fatigue, and absence due to illness, and increases productivity [7]. Implementing Food Informatics technologies in processing processes increases food quality and safety because errors derived from fatigue are reduced, control processes are made more efficient, and sensors and inspection systems ensure maximum quality [7]. The above, added to hygienic packaging, is essential to maintaining food safety because it helps keep food free from damage caused by environmental changes [149]. Eliminating human contact with food reduces incidents of cross-contamination, increasing compliance with legislation and food safety [7]. Consumers are increasingly aware of the importance of food quality and safety and the effects derived from consumption, so the environmental and social impacts derived from its production are also relevant [9]. Likewise, suppliers and competitors also generate an effect on the implementation of technologies such as Blockchain because if it is a standard already implemented in later links, requirements will be generated for its adoption to be accelerated and, thus, achieve its use and integration [9]. The regulations implemented by some countries and the variations in standards prevent full compliance with the requirements; some still maintain bar codes, others identification tags, and others traceability systems, so it is necessary to have global standards that promote compliance [9]. At the regulatory level, intellectual property, privacy, and copyright elements also become sources of protection that must be clearly defined by the responsible entities [141].
