Valerie Elliott, Consumer Editor for the Daily Telegraph recently reported about a new invention due to hit the supermarket aisles in the future:
Technology experts have devised an “intelligent” trolley that will alert shoppers when junk-food items are dropped in. Barcodes on foods high in fat, sugar and salt would trigger red warning lights on an interactive screen.
As exciting as this futuristic shopping trolley sounds, mySupermarket shoppers know that it’s nothing new. mySupermarket shelves already alert our shoppers to products that are high in fat, saturates, salt or sugar and our revolutionary Health Checker will go as far as suggesting similar – yet healthier – alternatives!
And if that’s not enough, how about this: You’ll never end up with a wobbly mySupermarket trolley!
