Episode description

Did you know that the proliferation of fake certification documents, including CE, food safety, and FDA certifications, poses a significant threat to consumer safety and trust worldwide?

Addressing this issue is paramount to safeguarding public health and ensuring the integrity of our supply chains on a global scale.

I did not, so that’s what Ron and I learned during our recent conversation with Tay, who shared among others:

“Then you will realize all the certification documents are pretty much all the fakes. No CE cert are fakes, the food safety, FDA cert, they are all fakes. So for consumers, they have no clue to actually verify whether whatever they are buying is genuine or not.” 

Clearly,

• digital technologies can enhance transparency, accountability, and efficiency, ultimately mitigating risks and ensuring product authenticity on a global scale, and

• embracing data-driven auditing approaches and promoting traceability in auditing processes are essential steps towards strengthening supply chain resilience and accountability worldwide.
