“In our commitment towards mitigating any possibility of tampering with food, Zomato will soon introduce tamper-proof tapes, and other precautionary measures to ensure we safeguard against any chances of tampering of food,” it added.
The company has a zero-tolerance policy for tampering of food, Zomato said.
