Authentication that never touches the food chain

Adulterated oils, honey, infant formula and bottled water carry real public-health risk. SNOWLEOPARD® marks the container and closure with no additives, inks or chemicals.

The Threat

Adulteration and refill in everyday categories

Volume products with strong brand premiums attract substitution, dilution and container reuse across informal channels.

Adulteration

Substituted contents

Premium oils, honey and spirits are diluted or substituted while the authentic packaging is retained.

Refill

Reused bottles and jars

Collected containers are refilled and resold, defeating tamper bands and printed lot codes.

Recall

Untraceable lots

When printed codes are copied or illegible, recall scope widens and costs multiply.

Where The Code Goes

Marked on containers, closures and film

A non-contact, consumable-free process keeps the mark entirely outside the product contact zone.

  • Glass jars and bottles
  • PET and HDPE containers
  • Caps, crowns and induction seals
  • Lidding and shrink film
  • Cases and trays
Field Verification

Verification anywhere in the distribution chain

Warm vapor reveals the code at packing, distribution, retail or the consumer's kitchen — no equipment anywhere in between.
