broken seal
Tampered package evidence
A broken seal is a seal that has been opened, breached, or tampered with.
Seals on bottles, packages, and documents indicate that contents haven't been accessed: Don't buy medicine with a broken seal.
The phrase often signals that something can no longer be trusted as original or secure.
Informally, breaking the seal refers to urinating for the first time while drinking alcohol, after which you supposedly need to go repeatedly.
