Reportedly Food discovery and delivery platform Zomato has introduced ‘Zomato Safely Sealed’, which it claims is 100% tamper proof packaging to add an extra layer of safety to food deliveries. Zomato said in a statement “Once the food is sealed by the restaurant, the packet can only be opened by cutting off the top end strip”. Meanwhile Zomato Safely Sealed comes in two variations to fit different sized boxes and the safety seals are made from a single material polymer with 50 microns thickness, and are completely reusable/recyclable.
Further Zomato said that it will soon launch the biodegradable versions of the packaging as well. Apparently during the first phase, this tamper proof packaging will be implemented across 10 cities (Delhi NCR, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Hyderabad, Kolkata, Pune, Jaipur, Chandigarh, Nagpur and Vadodara) in India and will be steadily introduced across all the 180+ cities where Zomato’s online ordering and food delivery services are present.
Presently over 5,000 restaurant partners are sealing their food using the packaging, which is about 25% of Zomato’s order volume in the 10 cities. Moreover Zomato will also feature a ‘100% SAFELY SEALED’ badge on the app for all restaurants who sign-up to use the packaging, further educating users in the decision-making process when ordering food online.
