The food sector is composed of retailers, brands and manufacturers, from small local shops to very large international companies. Although it is a traditional sector, it is still very dynamic, with constantly changing demands from customers.
There are several sales channels, such as the physical “brick & mortar”, food services and online sales. GS1 in Europe supports both its Member Organisations and the industry through several projects and activities.
We focus on two dimensions: on the one hand, GS1 standards for identification and capture. On the other hand, data services, supporting the industry to access accurate and correct product information.
