French retail chain Carrefour will add 100 more products to its blockchain-tracking initiative, after revealing an increase in sales of the 20 items currently using the technology, developed with IBM. Carrefour initially offered traceability and supply chain data to consumers on chicken, eggs, fresh milk, oranges, pork and cheese, allowing them to see when a product was harvested, packed, and shipped. Carrefour wants to add non-food lines in future like clothing, as well as more information, such as how much the farmer gets out of the shelf price. The company said it has now added 30 new products, including frozen pizza, chicken nuggets, beef patties, and other items.
