The article introduces an innovative concept called Sandwich Bill of Materials (SBOM) 1.0, which aims to standardize the way ingredients and dependencies are documented in sandwiches, similar to software's SBOMs. It outlines a JSON-based format for declaring sandwich components with details like URLs, names, versions, suppliers, integrity checks, licenses, and dependency resolution rules.

• SBOM addresses the lack of standardization in sandwich ingredient enumeration, assessment, and verification.
• A JSON file with .sbom extension is used to declare components including URLs, names, versions, suppliers, integrity checks, licenses, and dependency resolution rules.
• Dependency resolution follows depth-first order, with version negotiation for conflicting sub-dependencies.

Quality:
The article provides clear, technical information without overly sensationalizing the concept.
