| Summary: | This article questions the construction of transparency within the food chains. The analysis is based on the observation of two negotiations during which industry and retail representatives have discussed about the exchange and sharing of sensitive data on products they market. The first case is a controversy over the sharing of data indicating the genetically modified character of the food of animals intended for human consumption. The second case constitutes a series of negotiations regarding the opening of data to indicate the Nutri-Score of food products. Putting these two cases into perspective allows us to question current discourses according to which the development of digital technologies should lead to an inexorable increase in the transparency of food and supply chains. Rather, we show that transparency is a highly negotiated process and that these negotiations may lead to forms of ignorance. These forms of ignorance, far from being the only result of an intentional and strategic production, often appear as the by-product of other logics - organizational, logistical, political, legal - which can be more or less linked to the question of ignorance. |
