Washington Gold Hard Wheat Flour is an original product of Philippine Foremost Milling Corporation , one of the country’s biggest flour millers. Earlier, PFMC received complaints from its bakery customers of alleged quality issues on one of its popular flour products, the Washington Gold Hard Wheat Flour. The company immediately conducted an investigation and discovered that the flour delivered to the said bakeries were fake PFMC Washington Gold Hard Wheat Flour products.

PFMC noted that while the 25-kilo sacks of flour bore PFMC’s trademark, the printing of the label and the sacks used were of poor quality. Laboratory tests also confirmed that the flour inside the sacks were not real PFMC Washington Gold Hard Wheat Flour. PFMC said the supplier of these fake products clearly intended to cheat and deceive bakeries into believing that they were purchasing PFMC’s high quality flour. Thus, sellers of these fake products could be held liable for trademark infringement and unfair competition, aside from violating the Consumer Act of the Philippines, the Food and Drugs Administration Act, and other laws.
