Residents of Zhejiang province are now able to access comprehensive information about food products, including the product's name, origin, manufacturer, and production and expiration dates, by simply scanning a QR code on the packaging with WeChat or Alipay.

A provincial platform using the internet of things and artificial intelligence technology was put into operation on Monday, the 39th World Consumer Rights Day, to ensure all food products entering the market are traceable, the province's market regulator said.

"Previously, I knew imported cold-chain food was traceable and now information about domestic products can also be accessible with the tracing system, so I feel comfortable and safe," said a resident surnamed Wang when scanning a QR code on a carton of Chinese milk at a supermarket in Hangzhou, the provincial capital.
