Retail Grocery Initiative

A new Retail Grocery Initiative facilitated by GS1 US aims to address industry challenges with broad adoption and implementation of GS1 Standards. Uniting suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, retailers, solution providers, and industry associations, the GS1 US Retail Grocery Initiative gathered industry stakeholders for its inaugural meeting on June 10 during the GS1 Connect 2014 conference. During the initial meeting, more than 150 stakeholders gathered and identified high priority topics impacting their businesses that could be addressed by the Initiative, including alignment on product information for business and consumer use, and standardized usage of images and adherence to regulations from FSMA.
