Can a product photo prove authenticity?

Buying and markets

A photograph helps document packaging but does not establish the supply chain, batch identity or composition. Check the authorized channel and the brand’s own guidance. A changed label can be a legitimate revision or require investigation; appearance alone cannot settle the question. Keep seller, batch and purchase details when raising a concern.
