Retail giant Carrefour, in partnership with Galician food company Coren, is deploying a blockchain food tracking platform in its Spanish network.

The food tracking solution, based on IBM Food Trust platform, will be used to track chickens branded as “Quality and Origin” that were raised without antibiotic treatment.

Food tracking will allow consumers to know such information about products as the date of birth of the chicken, the mode of breeding, the location of the farm, the packaging process or the date on which the product has reached the Carrefour stores.

According to France-based radio station Europe 1, French tobacco retailers are going to be selling bitcoin to the public from January 1st, 2019.

Tobacco retailers will be offering bitcoin vouchers in denominations of 50, 100 or 250 euros (around $57, $114 or $285). Local crypto startup Keplerk will allow customers to convert their vouchers into bitcoin and store it in wallets on its platform.

France’s 24,000 licensed tobacco shops have already diversified to sell lottery tickets, credits for cellphone operators or video and music streaming services.
