“We are using [blockchain] technology to bring more transparency to our products by providing accurate, trusted and impartial information. That will benefit the whole value chain, including retailers and consumers.”
Over the next few weeks, this new service is under the testing phase with the Mousline product. As per Nestle and Carrefour this testing phase is aimed to “help to understand the impact and scalability of the technology, and inform decisions on further developments.”
Since 2017, when Nestle joined IBM Food Trust as a founding member, the company has been eyeing the use of blockchain technology. Carrefour joined the platform last October. Just last week, the world’s second-largest supermarket company by sales, Albertsons Companies, also became a Food Trust member, planning a pilot tracking suppliers of romaine lettuce, a product which was last year linked to a widespread outbreak of E-coli.
