Yes, I don't see how blockchain technology will solve a problem like this in any way whatsoever. No entry in a blockchain and labelling thereof on containers will prevent breaking the seals on a contain and swapping out real for fakes.

Blockchain may be able solve a few different problems, but this isn't one of them.

I'm probably dumb, but it feels like all the guys pushing blockchain on trying to solve the problem that the world tends to run on trust and good faith, because those things make them deeply uncomfortable.
