MADRID, 8 May. (EUROPA PRESS) –
Just Eat, the food delivery platform at home, and Luda Partners have reached an agreement so that Spanish pharmacies can sell and distribute their parapharmacy products through the ‘app’ in the home service market, as reported in a statement.

Consumers will be able to consult from the Just Eat ‘app’ the parapharmacy catalog of the nearest pharmacy based on their location and without the pharmacy having to make any type of reduction or discount on the price.

Pharmacies can be sure that the traceability of shipments and the physical means used by the couriers respect the highest standards of quality,” he said.
For his part, the general director of Just Eat Spain, Íñigo Barea, has highlighted this new commitment of the platform. “Our extensive delivery network, our experience in last-mile logistics and our commitment to strict compliance with the regulatory framework, puts us in a unique position to be able to deliver any product that consumers need when they demand it. This agreement with Luda to offer our users parapharmacy products is a new path towards the diversification of products available in our ‘app'”, he indicated.
