Walmart is implementing radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology in collaboration with Avery Dennison, targeting fresh food categories. This partnership addresses challenges of using RFID in cold, moist environments and aims to enhance food traceability and inventory management. The technology will provide digital use-by dates for products in departments like meat and bakery, helping reduce food waste and ensure freshness. Walmart expects this initiative to support its goal of cutting food waste intensity by 2030, allowing employees to focus more on customer service.
