safety seal
Unopened product guarantee
A safety seal is a tamper-evident closure on packaging—typically a plastic band, foil cover, or breakable strip that must be torn or punctured to access the contents.
If the seal is broken or missing, you know the product may have been opened: Don't buy it if the safety seal is damaged.
Safety seals became standard on food and medicine after product-tampering incidents in the 1980s.
