Fake Olive Oil: 7 ways to spot it

With the evident amount of delusion roaming around in our mind while comparing olive oil with wine tasting, somewhere down the line we have come to realize that it is what was presented rather than what was there.

There are certain instances, where even the eminent food tasters were inept while they were made to taste two different kinds of olive oils.

With the amount of attention garnered by olive oil mostly due to the popularity of Mediterranean diet, it’s safe to say that questions are being raised to prove the authenticity of olive oil. With the hysteria regarding such a hoopla, big brands plan on capitalizing on selling real (yet not fresh) olive oils which are old(actually pretty damn old).

Process of identifying

  • Extra virgin olive oil is flammable enough to act as a powerhouse to light a lamp. So if that doesn’t light the lamp or causes a lot of smoke (because authentic olive oil causes no smoke), then be sure of the fact that it is fake.
  • It is widely known that olive oil comprises of monounsaturated fats which are bound to solidify at a cold temperature. So if your brand of olive oil becomes thick or even solidifies, then it surely is authentic.
  • OR you can always turn up to any local farmer and buy 100% pure olive oil. Still look for single producers of the product because the chances are that it will be more authentic than any other olive oil sold elsewhere.

The olive tasting is probably the least approved authenticity checker of them all since the fake stuff has been sold for such a long time that even the experts can’t do squat and spot the difference because in an experiment the experts ended up choosing the least expensive olive oil to be authentic.

Imagine picking up a prescription, knowing that every pill inside is not only genuine but also uniquely tailored to your treatment needs. In today’s evolving pharmaceutical landscape, personalization is not just a trend—it’s a necessity. As personalized medicine gains traction, pharmaceutical packaging must also adapt to ensure security, traceability, and consumer trust.

Counterfeit drugs remain a global threat, endangering patient safety and undermining pharmaceutical brands. Traditional security measures like holograms, QR codes, and tamper-evident seals have played a crucial role, but counterfeiters are finding ways to bypass them. This is where personalized pharma packaging steps in, offering a cutting-edge approach that enhances protection at an individual level.

Why Pharma Needs Smarter Packaging Solutions?

Counterfeit drugs cause thousands of deaths each year and cost the industry billions. In a world where supply chains are complex and drug diversion is rampant, pharma companies need more than just static security features—they need dynamic, patient-specific packaging solutions.

Unlike conventional packaging, personalized pharma packaging introduces unique identifiers at the batch, dose, or even individual patient level. This not only prevents duplication but also enhances traceability, ensuring that every package reaches the right hands without tampering.

What is Personalized Pharma Packaging?

Personalized packaging involves the integration of advanced security elements—such as dynamic QR codes, smart labels, and digital authentication features—that are specific to each patient or prescription. These elements offer real-time tracking, authentication, and even engagement features that enhance patient adherence.

How Personalized Packaging Enhances Security & Trust

1. Dynamic QR Codes :

Each package features a unique, scannable code that verifies authenticity in real time.

2. Tamper-Evident Smart Labels :

Incorporates intelligent sensors that detect and alert users to any unauthorized access.

3. Blockchain-Based Authentication :

Secure, immutable digital records ensure every drug package is verified throughout the supply chain.

4. Patient-Specific Customization

Enables micro-batch packaging with security features unique to an individual or prescription.

5. Augmented Reality (AR) for Patient Engagement :

AR-enabled labels provide interactive, secure information to patients about their medication.

Applications of Personalized Pharma Packaging

  • Preventing Counterfeit Drugs : By embedding patient-specific security elements, pharmaceutical brands can ensure that counterfeit drugs never reach consumers.
  • Ensuring Supply Chain Transparency : Manufacturers, distributors, and pharmacists can track and authenticate each drug package at every stage, reducing the risk of diversion.
  • Enhancing Patient Safety & Compliance : With personalized security labels and smart tracking, patients can be confident that their medication is safe and intended for them.

Future of Personalized Packaging in Pharma

With regulatory bodies tightening compliance measures and personalized medicine growing rapidly, pharma brands must embrace smarter packaging technologies. Innovations like AI-driven serialization, digital twins for medicine, and patient-specific NFC authentication will define the future of secure pharma packaging.
