Carrefour announces blockchain first

Carrefour has launched Europe’s first food blockchain as part of its 2022 transformation plan.

This is currently being used for free-range Carrefour Quality Line Auvergne chickens, and will be rolled out to eight more animal and vegetable product lines, such as eggs, cheese, milk, oranges, tomatoes, salmon and ground beef steak.

“This is a first in Europe and will provide consumers with guaranteed complete transparency as far as the traceability of our products is concerned,” says Laurent Vallée, Carrefour's General Secretary and Head of Quality and Food Safety.
