Procter & Gamble patents counterfeit detection kit
P&G_logo_squareConsumer product giant Procter & Gamble has been awarded a US patent on a chemical test kit that could be used to detect counterfeit versions of its products. The kit – described in US Patent No. 8,703,068 – “includes a plurality of test protocols to determine the presence or absence of one or more active component, diluent component, and/or preservative component in a consumer product.” Popular consumer products are common targets for counterfeiters, and P&G estimates that approximately 2-3 per cent of all fast moving consumer goods (FMCGs) sold worldwide are counterfeit.
