Packaging and food security

摘要

Packaging has always protected consumers from contamination (intentional or unintentional) or tampering, there is no legislation stipulating that packaging must perform this role. Most of my students are astounded that there is no requirement for tamper-evident packaging for food, mainly because most of them grew up in the post-Tylenol incident era and are used to seeing all manner of TE features on over-the:counter packaging for food packages.
