"Tesco is replacing barcodes with QR codes on an entire range of its own-label products, claiming a UK supermarket first. The nation's largest grocer hailed the move as 'one of the most revolutionary retailing improvements in decades.'"
"This initiative aligns with a broader industry shift, spearheaded by GS1, the global body for barcode standards, which has set a target for retailers and manufacturers to embrace QR codes."
"These codes can provide additional product information to customers, such as nutritional content, traceability, recipes, and competitions."
"Tesco said adopting the new codes would give it better information about products in stores, helping it to order more accurately, improve efficiency, and reduce unnecessary waste."

The change affects 13 lines of Tesco's sausages and is part of a broader industry movement led by GS1 to adopt QR codes. The new system aims to improve product traceability, nutritional information, and reduce waste by providing better data for inventory management. Tesco claims this is a revolutionary improvement in retailing.
