English term or phrase: the very piece

A consumer is about to buy the very piece after the product is found authentic.

This is a quote from an explanation about an application in China.
The back ground is that food frauds have become a huge concern of people living in China.
Using this application can tell you whether the product is fake or not.

Please tell me what "the very piece" means.
I guess "very" can mean "same", but I'm not confident in that.
Could someone help me?

this exact item

Explanation:
The translation is poor throughout your source, but this would better phrase the text in question. You could minimally change to "this" very piece.
