Answer
Are airport checks in Mallorca enough to stop counterfeit or mislabelled goods?
Airport checks help, but they are only one part of the picture. The Palma case suggests that inspections are useful but not always enough on their own, especially if products move through complex supply chains. Broader traceability and routine retail checks are also important.
