The demand for milk in Vietnam is increasing, and unfortunately, this has led to an increase in counterfeit products. Today, we will guide you on how to distinguish between genuine and fake Vinamilk fresh milk.
1 Why Vinamilk Fresh Milk is Easily Counterfeited
Vinamilk fresh milk has two packaging suppliers: Tetra Pak and Combibloc
Currently, there are many types of milk in the market with similar packaging to Vinamilk. This has caused confusion among consumers, who are afraid of accidentally buying counterfeit or imitation products.
There are several reasons why consumers may mistake or be unable to distinguish between genuine and fake Vinamilk fresh milk:
-
Vinamilk collaborates with two packaging suppliers, Tetra Pak from Sweden and Combibloc from Germany, to offer a diverse range of high-quality packaging designs for consumers to choose from. Although the two designs differ slightly, the quality of the milk inside remains the same. This has led to some people and unscrupulous individuals taking advantage of the situation to produce counterfeit products.
-
Vinamilk is a trusted milk supplier in Vietnam and internationally. Unfortunately, this reputation has also made it a target for counterfeiters looking to make a quick profit. As a result, fake and imitation products may circulate in the market, potentially damaging consumer trust.
2 Signs to Identify Genuine Vinamilk Fresh Milk
Some signs to help you distinguish between genuine and fake Vinamilk products.
Product Packaging
The packaging of counterfeit milk products may have blurred colors and text, lack a clear expiration date, or even lack a barcode.
Milk Flavor
High-quality fresh milk should be opaque white, free of lumps, and without a creamy layer on top. If you notice any unusual sour or fermented odors, it is best not to consume the product.
Product Barcode
You can distinguish between genuine and fake products by scanning the barcode.
The most effective way to verify the authenticity of milk is to scan the barcode on the product and cross-reference the information. You can also perform a simple calculation:
-
Sum the digits in the odd positions (first, third, fifth, seventh, eleventh, excluding the thirteenth digit) = X. Sum the digits in the even positions (second, fourth, sixth, eighth, tenth, and twelfth) = Y
-
Then, calculate X + (Y*3) + the thirteenth digit. If the final result ends with 0, the milk is genuine; otherwise, it is fake.
3 Distinguishing Tetra Pak and Combibloc Packaging
Differences between Combibloc and Tetra Pak packaging designs.
Although the packaging designs differ, the quality of the milk inside is the same for both Tetra Pak and Combibloc. The paper packaging of the two suppliers shares similar images and content information, but there are some key differences:
-
Tetra Pak’s Vinamilk fresh milk packaging is taller and longer than Combibloc’s.
-
The box caps of the two types of packaging have distinct markings.
-
The surface design for the straw placement differs in position. Tetra Pak’s straw is fixed to one corner, while Combibloc’s is in the center of the box.
4 Precautions
It is recommended to purchase Vinamilk products from reputable stores to ensure authenticity.
-
Buy Vinamilk products from reputable stores like ours, large supermarkets, or authorized Vinamilk distributors.
-
Purchase from stores with clear certificates of origin.
-
If you come across fake or imitation Vinamilk products, report it directly to the relevant authorities.
Now you know how to distinguish between genuine and fake Vinamilk fresh milk. Be cautious and choose trustworthy products for your family. Hopefully, this information will be useful to you.
