The application of the Internet of Things (IoT) in food processing and related fields is reviewed in this paper. This review is aimed at identifying and elucidating IoT application areas, trends, architectures, and challenges in these fields. The essential survey was conducted following a systematic literature review (SLR) using academic documents written in English and published in peer‐reviewed journals from 2011 to 2024. Selected references based on the application domains corresponding to food processing and related fields were clustered into food safety and quality, packaging and traceability, supply chain, waste, and contamination. A database that summarized and reviewed selected articles on the implementation of IoT solutions for monitoring variables and communication technologies in different food sectors was developed. Based on this study, we proposed an IoT architecture based on our findings that can be used for the application of IoT in food processing and related fields.
