"unaffected if the tamper-evident feature of the package is breached or missing."

The requirement

A statement that identifies all tamper-evident features and any capsule sealing technologies used to comply, is prominently placed on the package, and is so placed that it will be unaffected if the tamper-evident feature is breached or missing.

Read the third limb again

So placed that it will be unaffected if the feature is breached or missing. The text about the seal has to outlive the seal.

Which rules out the obvious place to print it

On the seal itself, on a shrink band over the cap, or on anything the consumer tears off to open the package.

Because the point is the consumer who finds it gone

Someone holding a container with no seal needs to be able to read that there should have been one.

So it goes on the part that stays

The body label, or the carton if there is one. Not the closure, if the closure is the feature.

Which is a layout requirement with a physical condition in it

And there is nothing else like it in this library. Every other placement rule here is about panels and areas.

The first limb requires identification, not a generic phrase

Identifies all tamper-evident features. So a statement has to say what the feature is rather than that one exists.

Which makes the statement specific to the package you bought

A different liner or a different closure means different text, the same way the pet grooming property finds the container selecting the sentence.

And prominently placed is the second limb

Three conditions in one sentence: identification, prominence, and survival of the feature it describes.

And a carton changes the answer

A secondary carton gives a panel that survives everything done to the primary container, which is the easiest place to satisfy the third limb. We sell primary containers and not cartons.

So on a bare bottle the body label carries it

61 of the 94 containers here are PET packer bottles, which have a cylindrical body panel and a closure that is the feature. The text goes on the body.

Our data supports the placement decision

Height is published on 93 of the 94 containers and diameter on 89, so the body panel is measurable before anything is ordered.

Written from 21 CFR 211.132 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That section reaches an over-the-counter human drug product packaged for retail sale and accessible to the public while held for sale; a kit assembled at home from bulk is not that, and nothing here asserts the section binds any particular activity. The only tamper-evident capability on this shelf is a liner, and we publish the liner type and not whether it carries a printed identifying characteristic, which is the attribute the distinctiveness requirement turns on.
