Food delivery services are on the rise. With Uber Eats to Door Dash accompanying traditional pizza and other food delivery companies, people are more and more choosing to enjoy their meal from their favorite restaurant from the comfort of their home.
But how do we keep the food safe when it is transit? Can something like a tamper-proof label ensure your food arrives safe and secure and untouched by unwanted hands? And that nothing has been taken or tasted by the delivery driver?
Let’s discuss the importance of tamper-evident food labels for delivery food – and for food safety compliance as well.
What is a Tamper-Evident Label?
As defined by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) a tamper-evident or tamper-proof label or seal is “one having one or more indicators or barriers to entry which, if breached or missing, can reasonably be expected to provide visible evidence to consumers that tampering has occurred.”
This means, simply, that you will be able to tell if someone has tried to open or tamper with your food or drink (or anything else you wanted sealed and safe) during delivery. These are labels designed with specific cuts that will break if tampered with. Designed to adhere to a variety of packaging – paper, plastic, foil – these labels have aggressive adhesive to be tamper resistant but easily opened by the customer.
These labels help give customers peace of mind with labels that have special, letting them know immediately, as the name implies, when your food has been tampered with during delivery.
Are Tamper-Proof Labels Effective?
As a result, tamper-evident labels are the first and best defense against food skimming. Not only do they make it harder to get to the order in the first place – no one can simply reach their hand in and pluck out a fry, for example – but it will be immediately obvious to the customer that their food has been compromised and they can take appropriate action to hold the offender accountable.
Finding a high-quality tamper-evident label is therefore the key to keeping your customers safe and happy with your products – and ensure no staff, driver, or anyone else your order might have encountered has skimmed anything off the top. It is also effective in ensuring compliance with food safety regulations, as it can be verified the foodstuff has not been contaminated with allergens or anything else that would cause a food safety issue.
