ABSTRACT:
A tamper-evident reclosable plastic bag comprises first and second opposing panels, a zipper, a slider, and an end termination. The first and second opposing panels are fixedly connected to each other along a pair of sides and a bottom bridging the pair of sides. The zipper extends along a mouth formed opposite the bottom. The zipper includes a first track with a first profile and a second track with a second profile. The first and second profiles are releasably engageable to each other. The slider is slidably mounted to the zipper for movement between a closed position and an open position. The first and second profiles are engaged to each other while the slider is in the closed position. The first and second profiles are disengaged from each other in response to movement of the slider from the closed position to the open position. The end termination is near one end of the zipper adjacent to one of the pair of sides. To minimize tampering with the plastic bag, a one-time breakable element initially connects the slider to the end termination. The breakable element is intact while the slider is initially in the closed position, and the element is broken in response to movement of the slider from the closed position to the open position.
