## FAQ
- Q: How does the consumer verify the olive oil is genuine?
  A: Consumer taps the NFC label on the bottle with any NFC-enabled smartphone. Mobile web page opens showing authentication status (genuine / counterfeit / opened), olive grove location, harvest and extraction dates, lab test results (acidity, polyphenol content, peroxide value), PDO/PGI certification with EU eAmbrosia registry cross-reference. NTAG 424 DNA generates a unique cryptographic signature with each tap — proving the label is genuine, not a copy. NFC failure-mode fallback: QR code printed alongside links to the same verification page.
- Q: Can the label detect if the bottle has been refilled with cheaper oil?
  A: Yes — bridge-tag design spanning cap and bottle neck permanently breaks the NFC antenna when bottle is opened. On any subsequent scan, chip responds with 'opened/tampered' status, alerting the consumer or inspector that the bottle has been previously opened and may have been refilled. This structurally defeats the common restaurant fraud of refilling premium bottles with bulk commodity oil — estimates suggest 50%+ of olive oil served in restaurants is not what the bottle claims; bridge-antenna NFC closes that vector.
- Q: Does the NFC label integrate with PDO/PGI certification systems?
  A: Yes — cloud-based provenance record linked to each NFC chip stores full PDO/PGI certification documentation: certification body name, certificate number, geographic boundaries, production standards, audit date. Documentation displayed during tap verification with direct EU eAmbrosia public PDO registry cross-reference. Consumer can independently verify the claim against the registry. Each PDO has its specification document (disciplinare) listing permitted cultivars, geographic boundary, production method, analytical thresholds — NFC backend links directly to the eAmbrosia entry.
- Q: Does NFC authentication actually verify the oil is extra virgin, or only that the bottle hasn't been tampered with?
  A: Strictly speaking, the NFC tag verifies that the specific bottle is genuine, serialised, and has not been physically opened since leaving the producer's facility. It does NOT perform chemical analysis of the oil. The honest version of the value proposition is: NFC authentication + producer-side analytical certificate (acidity, peroxide value, K232/K268 UV spectrophotometry, IOC sensory panel report) published to the provenance page together deliver meaningful assurance of extra-virgin grade. Brand-protection programmes that conflate the two and claim NFC 'proves EVOO grade' should be avoided — the IOC test framework (COI/T.20 methods) remains the scientific authority on oil classification. NFC provides cryptographic packaging-integrity proof on top of documented lab results, not in place of them.
- Q: How does the label support first-harvest, cold-press, single-estate EVOO premium positioning?
  A: Per-bottle serialisation linked to mill bottling MES database lets consumer tap verify specific grove GPS polygon, cultivar breakdown (e.g. 70% Frantoio, 20% Leccino, 10% Moraiolo), harvest date, pressing window (24-72 hours post-harvest for genuine cold-first-press EVOO), extraction temperature (≤ 27 °C for 'cold-pressed' marketing claims per EU 29/2012 Art. 5), mill ID, and specific analytical certificate for the lot. First-harvest 'olio nuovo' oils with 30-60 day peak quality window benefit especially from dated provenance — consumers verify the bottle in their hand was harvested and pressed within the current season vs sitting on retailer shelves for 18 months. This per-bottle provenance is exactly what premium estate producers need to differentiate from commodity 'blended EU origin' oils and justify premium retail pricing.
- Q: How does this support FSMA 204 and EUDR food-traceability compliance?
  A: FSMA 204 (U.S. FDA Food Traceability Rule effective 2026) and EUDR (EU Regulation 2023/1115 deforestation-free supply chain) both require lot-level supply-chain documentation for select food categories. NFC per-bottle provenance page surfaces grove GPS polygon + mill ID + bulk oil intake records + ISO 17025 lab certificate — all the lot-level traceability data regulators require. In a recall event, backend recall targeting through the NFC verification database identifies affected bottles by serial range and notifies consumers directly via the registered tap. Producer-side controls (bulk oil intake testing, tamper-evident bulk holding tanks with NFC-logged fill events, camera-supervised bottling) form the documented chain-of-custody programme that NFC consumer-facing authentication caps.
