You're not only getting your groceries scanned when you shop at some Foodstuffs North Island supermarkets - the shop may also be scanning your face, Consumer NZ says. The organisation said Foodstuffs North Island was the only major retailer in New Zealand using facial recognition technology on its customers. Foodstuffs, which owns Pak ’n Save, New World and Four Square, said 29 of its North Island stores used facial recognition technology (FRT). Any store using, or trialling, facial recognition technology would have that signposted at the entrance of the store. supplied Jon Duffy, Consumer NZ chief executive, is concerned about Foodstuffs using facial recognition technology in its North Island stores.
