As already posted, there’s no definitive way (other than by purchasing a still-sealed unit from an Apple-authorized outlet) …


… however, if you connect it to — and power-up a MacBook — a genuine Apple product will display a surprising amount of AC Power Adaptor data — including the serial number — in the MacOS’ System Report.


While still NOT “definitive” (as this internal programming can also be counterfeited) it might give you a “more informed” level of confidence as to it’s “genuiness.”
