Amazon has a program for this called Transparency. It has some other purposes but this is one of the features of it. It's not a perfect way to track the chain but it is vaguely like what you propose.

Can you elaborate? What are the other purposes?
Kicking off any sellers for the specific products in the catalog not using Transparency, providing assurances to buyers that the products are authentic. Making money for Amazon because they charge a fee for every unit.
