Carrefour

As the use of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology continues to gain traction in Italy, Carrefour – a French supermarket group – is strongly committed to technological innovation in tracking over 20 of its 300 branded products in its supply chain, and plans to achieve tracking of origin (place of source) of more than 20% of its products being offered by the end of 2019.

A promotion of Carrefour Italia carried a hotshot, claiming to trace the chickens for sale in their respective shop outlets and supermarkets on a distributed ledger technology (DLT).

French supermarket group Carrefour announced on Tuesday that it would enlarge its food traceability system based on Blockchain technology to add eight more products by the end of this year. At the present moment, the fintech programme includes only some chickens.
