Walmart China has teamed up with Varcode to provide the retailer with a digital technology that allows it to track the freshness of perishable foods by scanning a barcode using a mobile app.

“For a young company, we’re honored to be selected by Walmart on food safety,” said Joseph Battoe, Varcode’s CEO. “They are world-class in logistics and supply chain.”

Walmart China’s deal with Varcode is part of the Walmart Food Safety Innovation Pipeline, an initiative to prevent contamination of perishable items at the retailer.
