Abstract

A tamper evident seal includes a frangible portion spanning between a pair of adhesive end portions. One of the end portions can be secured to the body portion of a food container while the opposing end portion can be secured to the lid of the container such that the frangible portion spans across a seam between the lid and body of the container in a closed position. Evidence of opening by unauthorized persons is evident by tearing of the adhesive end portions from the container or by breaking of the seal at the frangible portion.
