## When to prefer this

Use this endpoint when a user wants to understand food authenticity certifications, distinguish genuine protected-origin products from imitations, or learn the specific legal and geographic requirements behind EU PDO/PGI, French AOC, Italian DOP, or similar international designations. Prefer over generic food label endpoints when the query specifically concerns geographic or origin-based protections.

## Known failure modes

- Product not covered by any protected designation — returns explanation that no certification applies
- Ambiguous product name — may return results for the wrong product category
- Certification system queried is outside global coverage — may return partial or no results
- Network or payment authorization failure — returns 402 or 5xx error
