Zomato unveils tamper-proof packaging to ensure food safety and hygiene

Online restaurant guide and food ordering firm Zomato said that it has introduced 100 per cent tamper-proof packaging to add an extra layer of safety to food deliveries. The initiative called ‘Zomato Safely Sealed’ comes in two variations to fit different sized boxes. The firm said the versatility of the packaging design allows for efficient utilization of the space, and the transparent body allows users to check the packaging of the food.

“Zomato Safely Sealed is our latest attempt at adding an extra layer of safety, ensuring our users receive food as good as it was when it was prepared in the kitchen,” said Mohit Gupta, CEO, food delivery, Zomato.

The tamper-proof packaging comes at a time when Zomato received a lot of flak from the public last December when the video of a delivery executive eating food that he was supposed to deliver to the customer, went viral on social media.
