In a press release the Department said the authentic product is manufactured in India by SinghFam Cor-poration of lot 127 Harbor Road, Port Washington, New York. It said too the product called Elizabeth Style Hair Food MFG LIC # C374 is authentic while one with the number MFG LIC # 1172 is the fake.

Also, the authentic Elizabeth Style Bergamot is produced in a white container with a yellow label, red cover and net wt 200g. The fake product is sold in a yellow container with a blue label and white cover. It has net wt of 100g.

The Department said the genuine product has the manufacturer’s name and country declared as India, has a manufacture date displayed on the rim of the cover and has the purpose of product stated on the label. The label does not feature a tree logo.
