Abstract
A tamper evident container having an easily removable tear strip that snugly fits around the rim or skirt of a lid. The tear strip has a break away tab and is joined to the wall of the container by a series of thin rupturable links. The strip snugly holds the lid on the container preventing removal without some evidence of tampering but may be easily stripped away to allow use of the contents of the container.
