Abstract
Systems and methods are disclosed for verifying the accuracy of reported information. The systems and methods may include generating a hash based on ingredient data related to the creation of a report, storing the hash and the ingredients in a database, the hash being associated with the ingredient data in the database, and outputting the report, the report including the hash. Furthermore, the systems and methods may include receiving an input, the input being based on a first hash of ingredient data related to the creation of the report and determining if the database contains a record corresponding to the input. Moreover, the systems and methods may include outputting information contained in the record corresponding to the input if it was determined that the database contains the record corresponding to the input, the information contained in the record comprising the ingredient data.

33. A system for verifying the accuracy of reported information, the system comprising:
-
a memory storage for maintaining a database; and
a processing unit coupled to the memory storage, wherein the processing unit is operative to receive an input, the input being based on a first hash of ingredient data related to the generation of a report including the reported information;
determine if an ingredient database contains a record corresponding to the received input; and
output ingredient data contained in the record corresponding to the input if it was determined that the ingredient database contains a record corresponding to the input, wherein the outputted ingredient data is used to verify the reported information included in the report. - View Dependent Claims (34, 35, 36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42)
