What makes Levi's "genuine" given the diversity within Levis' supply chain quoted from the article below? Is a cane sugar Coke from Mexico a "genuine" Coke when it is imported to the US, where it is made with corn syrup? [0]
Levi’s sources its fabric from dozens of mills across the world, from luxury
supplier Candiani in Italy to sites in India, Bangladesh, Mexico, and Turkey.
The six pairs I tested were manufactured in three places: Cambodia, Macau,
and Mexico. The company’s supply chain is vast, and to some extent, it makes
sense that jeans made to the same specifications from different mills, dye
facilities, and factories would result in different products.
Mexican coke made for the US market is made with cane sugar, not corn syrup.
Sucrose in cane sugar decomposes to glucose and fructose via hydrolysis. With an acidic bottle of coke, a week after bottling nearly all of it is converted. The ratio of glucose and fructose is 50/50 from sucrose, with high fructose corn syrup it's a 55/42 ratio.
Yes, acknowledging the difference in composition between countries of a product named the same was my intended question. Not certain how to format the question:
Assert different and equally genuine:
a Coke
cane sugar
from Mexico
a Coke
corn syrup
from US
I doubt the jeans the author is buying from Amazon are genuine product, maybe just really good knockoffs.
