By the end of 2023, 80% of all food companies in the Chinese province of Zhejiang are expected to have their packaging labeled with 2D codes. The decision was announced on May 19 and is an agreement between GS1 Global, GS1 China and Zhejiang AMR (Administration for Market Regulation) for increased traceability and safety in the food industry.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n

In Zhejiang Province with over 65 million inhabitants, authorities in cooperation with GS1 will embark on a comprehensive transition from traditional one-dimensional barcodes to 2D barcodes ( QR<\/a> and GS1 DataMatrix<\/a> ). The implementation is expected to be completed by the end of 2023. <\/p>\n\n

China is now one of the countries at the forefront of the Global Migration to 2D<\/em> initiative, in which GS1 guides industries around the world through the introduction of 2D barcodes. The news has received great national and local media coverage in China in both TV, newspapers and digital media. <\/p>\n\n
