In response to this incident, on the afternoon of June 14, officials from VOZOL stated to 2FIRSTS that the confiscated products were counterfeit.

 

According to the spokesperson, counterfeit VOZOL products have recently been found in multiple countries around the world. The original candy bag in the photo has the VOZOL logo, but the packaging box does not have any anti-counterfeit labels attached, which is a requirement for all compliant VOZOL products exported. Therefore, the spokesperson determined that this batch of products is counterfeit.

 

At the same time, VOZOL has issued a notice on its official website regarding the identification and verification methods for counterfeit VOZOL products that have recently surfaced. The announcement can be found at https://vozoltech.com/news/info/48.
