Bakery is one of retail’s hardest categories to manage: short shelf life, manual rotation and limited visibility into what’s really happening on the shelf. Avery Dennison and Kroger are helping change that. Since February 2025, Kroger and Avery Dennison have been rolling out item-level RFID across 2,200 bakery departments, with 997 stores live and full deployment expected by October 2026. The technology provides real-time insight into freshness, inventory visibility, production accuracy and on-shelf product availability. This is what “making the invisible visible” looks like — transforming a traditionally hard-to-track category into a source of efficiency, freshness and measurable performance. 📘 Explore the Kroger case study and see more examples of innovation in action in our new report: https://avydn.co/4rNWDxl #FoodWaste #Retail #RFID #Bakery #Innovation #MakingPossible
