Nestlé, the global food giant, has associated with French supermarket chain ‘Carrefour’ to bring baby milk formula with blockchain.

Using IBM’s food-tracking blockchain software ‘IBM Food Trust,’ these two firms will provide consumers transparent data for the ‘GUIGOZ Bio 2 and 3 infant milk ranges’, from dairy-shelf.

IBM Food Trust is established on the “Linux Foundation’s Hyperledger Fabric software.”

Like other blockchain-enabled products, customers will be able to approach the data by scanning a QR-code printed on the packet of the product.

Earlier this year, Carrefour disclosed its intention to put at least 20% of its in-house products on the blockchain by the year 2020. The company said it had DLT-related pilots working in 6 countries.

Around the same time, China’s famous online retailer ‘JD.com’ declared that the sales of its free-range chickens had increased to double in 2 years and credited blockchain-based QR-codes for some of the success.

Other big supermarkets are ‘blockchainifying’ their products as well. ‘Auchan’ sells carrots that are on the blockchain system; on the other hand, Dutch supermarket ‘Albert Heijn‘ uses this technology to render the supply routes of its orange juice transparent.
