An Act relative to delivered food

This bill prohibits food delivery providers in Massachusetts from using staples to seal bags or containers holding raw or prepared foods or beverages.

By banning this specific sealing method, the legislation aims to reduce the risk of food contamination during transit. The change applies to all food delivery services operating in the Commonwealth and takes effect immediately upon passing.
