The present invention relates to merchandising components for authenticating products, combinations that include the merchandising component and a product, methods of associating the merchandising component with a product, and methods of utilizing the merchandising component to authenticate a product. More particularly, the merchandising component includes an authentication component capable of producing a two-dimensional, human readable image upon irradiation with electromagnetic radiation.
