Pactiv Evergreen adds tamper evident food containers

LAKE FOREST - Pactiv Evergreen Inc. said it new sells tamper evident food containers to meet the evolving needs of food service operators.

With the rise in takeout and delivery, Pactiv Evergreen's new cartons feature a tamper evident latch that must be torn to access the contents inside. The latch also keeps food safely secure during transport, preventing unwanted spills, the company said.

Pactiv Evergreen said the packaging was designed with portability, safety and security in mind. The cartons' patent-pending design allows both the food service operator and customer see if a carton has been tampered with, increasing food safety and consumer confidence, it said.

Food service establishments can present grab-and-go food under a hot display with these heat lamp safe cartons, the company said.
