FR 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 product, 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 accounts.
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:
