Food and drinks

Counterfeiting in the food and beverage industry has a substantial impact on both the producers’ income and their brand image. Cypheme offers a high-tech anti-counterfeit solution designed to prevent the expansion of this world-wide problem.

Counterfeiting in the sector

As a consequence of the booming demand for exports, counterfeiting is rampant in the food industry. Fraud can take many forms, from printing fake prestigious labels on cheaper products, to manufacturing fake packaging designed to sell counterfeit products to the fraudulent use of a controlled origin. These malpractices have dramatic consequences both on the brand’s image and reputation but also on the health of consumers. They also result in a significant loss of revenue for professionals of the food sector.

The Cypheme solution

A tag has been affixed to this packaging, giving it a unique and impossible to duplicate identifier. A simple photo makes it possible to recognize this identifier with certainty and confidence.

Authentication can be done via the brand’s or Cypheme’s WeChat and Facebook Messenger accounts or their respective Android or iOs applications.

Our solutions provide the best protection against counterfeiting in order to:
  • minimize revenue loss;
  • protect consumers from harmful substances.
And they also open up an array of new possibilities such as:
  • informing the consumer about product characteristics (e.g.: ingredients, origin, use-by date);
  • sharing personalized marketing content with customers;
  • increasing brand visibility among consumers;
  • driving customer loyalty;
  • once a picture is taken, a geolocation option is activated, allowing the tracking of both genuine and counterfeit products.

Integrating Cypheme

We will work with you in order to select the most appropriate solution according to your needs.

There are several choices for the location of the tag on these food products:
  • On the label;
  • On the packaging;
