> However, pick up a high value product and it’s likely to be some effectively identical fake while still being sold by the company it says on the box.

What is this supposed to mean? Every high value product I purchase is definitely unique to the company that makes it. My laptop, GPU, car, and phone are definitely not some rebranded items.

It’s hard to sell a counterfeit car or GPU without someone noticing a difference.

Clothes, chargers, cables, etc are counterfeit because it isn’t nearly as obvious.

Name brand foods often come with significant markups and would be fairly easy to counterfeit premium bottled water etc. Except as the article mentions food substitutes generally happen earlier in the supply chain not at the grocery store.

The reverse also happens, knock-offs being as high quality as the name-brand because it's cheaper on the production side to use existing factories/machinery.

I just realized it wasn’t clear, but I meant high value for a grocery store.
