CHECK HOW YOU CAN YOU USE THIS GOVERNMENT APP FOR THE AUTHENTICITY OF YOUR REAL COSMETICS AND FOOD PRODUCTS
How this government app can help you identify fake or real cosmetics and food products
When it comes to buying cosmetics, food products, and other FMCG items, we mostly have to rely on the information on the package to know about the price, expiry date, certification details, etc. However, with counterfeit products flooding the market, it might be difficult to identify a fake product by just looking at. Sometimes crucial information might not be legible or shown on the package. The Department of Consumer Affairs, Government of India, and Food Safety & Standards Authority of India (FSSAI ) via an app made by non-profit organization GS1 is providing vital product information. Here is everything you need to know about it.
STEPS :
- DOWNLOAD THE SMART CONSUMER APP BY GOOGLE PLAY OR GIS AVAILABLE ON BOTH ANDROID AND IOS
- THE APP WORKS BY SCANNING THE PRINTED BARCODE ON THE PRODUCT.
- OPEN THE APP TO CHECK THE BARCODE OF YOUR PRODUCT.
- IF THE BARCODE FAILS TO SCAN YOU CAN ALSO ENTER THE NUMBER WRITTEN NEAR THE BARCODE WHICH IS THE GRIN OF THE PRODUCT.
- ON SCANNING THE APP WILL IMMEDIATELY SHOWCASE THE EXACT DETAILS OF THE PRODUCT THAT YOU ARE USING.
- INFORMATION LIKE NAME MANUFACTURER, PRICE MANUFACTURE DATE, FSSAI LICENSE, ETC WILL BE SHOWN.
- IF THE INFORMATION IS NOT SHOWN ON THE APP THAT MEANS EITHER THE ITEM SCANNED IS FAKE OR DETAILS IS NOT PROVIDED BY THE MANUFACTURER
- TO CONFIRM WHETHER THE PRODUCT IS FAKE OR NOT, GET ANOTHER PAK OF THE SAME PRODUCT FROM ANOTHER SOURCE. IF THIS APP SHOWS CORRECT INFORMATION ABOUT THE PRODUCT THEN THAT MEANS THE PREVIOUS ITEM WAS FAKE >
- THIS APP CAN BE USED TO VERIFY THE PRICE AND CONTENTS OF THE PRODUCT IN CASE SOMEONE HAS REPLACED THE PACKAGING OR STICKER.
- YOU CAN ALSO REGISTER THE COMPLAINT ABOUT THE PRODUCT USING THIS APP.
