Avery Dennison and Walmart announced on 2025-10-23 a first‑to‑market RFID innovation that brings radio‑frequency identification to fresh food categories previously not possible, including meat, bakery, and deli. The partnership enables Walmart associates to scan and track inventory at the item level, ensuring products stay stocked and ready for customers while improving associate efficiency.
The RFID‑enabled labels provide real‑time visibility of freshness, allowing Walmart to rotate products more accurately and reduce unsold food. This technology aligns with Walmart’s sustainability goals to cut global operational food loss and waste intensity in half by 2030.
By entering the high‑moisture, cold environment segment, Avery Dennison expands its Intelligent Labels platform into a new, high‑volume retail market, reinforcing its position in grocery retail and creating potential new revenue streams for the company.
