Jars have that pop-up seal. Produce you wash anyway. Lots of bread is now sold with an inner liner that is sealed, or at least tamper-evident.

There was a Ruth Rendell short story wherein a guy peeled the plastic wrap off packs of mushrooms, inserted slivers of toxic mushrooms and replaced the plastic wrap.
