Methodology: The statistical population of the current research is 10 people from the food supply chain specialists of the company, and to analyze the internal relationships of risks using the Z-DEMATEL method and to evaluate the enablers of blockchain and the impact of each of the enablers on the risks of the food supply chain using the method Z-TOPSIS is used. Findings: Prioritization of supply chain risks in terms of weight obtained are: inventory reserve and confirmation of delivery time, information asymmetry, scheduling of production activities. Three risks: integration of orders, identification of supplier sources and contracts and agreements with suppliers as three risks that have a high impact and are placed in the category of disabled risks, as well as the risks of: stock reserve and confirmation of delivery time, production and testing. Product loading, creation of shipping documents, validation of credit and shipping were identified as the most influential risks. and the most important blockchain enablers for risk control, respectively; Transparency of operational goals, integration of production information and timeliness of production information were identified. Conclusion: Using blockchain with its advantages in sharing transparent and timely information can be effective in the food supply chain and help control risks by using efficient information, which is the basic need of every industry.
