I'm no packaging expert, but why does Coles milk have an additional seal whereas Woolworths milk doesn't?

To make the goods tamper proof - goes back to the Tylenol tampering in USA decades ago.
But it was the Arnotts Monte Carlo crisis that brought Australia to it's knees.
And the rat poison in the salad bar that brought Sizzler to its knees.
And some obscure Chinese takeaway serving left over/rat meat.
Good question nobody knows or Coles has a higher level of safety requirements than Woolworths. In before picked up by social media news circle ring thingamabob.
Maybe Coles faces higher risks? Disgruntled staff or suppliers?
Id say its likely so they dont leak, milk leaks sometimes from the unsealed ones and it wouldnt be much more cost to seal it.
Is this like dolphin free tuna?
Seal free milk.
Weird

But do you boil it then filter it?
My Woolworths milk is always sealed.
Strange, ours isn't. So yours has an additional seal under the screw top lid?
Yup. Definitely. Victoria.
Also in Victoria, never sealed.
I think it depends on the bottling equipment where the milk is bottled. A few years ago, when Coles did the deal with Devondale Murry Golburn to supply their home brand milk in Victoria and NSW, a new bottling plant was opened in Laverton North. That's when we started to see the sealed bottles in Victoria.
Used to be sealed in QLD, not any more though
In Tassie Woolies isnt sealed But Coles is
But the Bloody self serve checkout scales are so sensitive that if there are few extra milliliters it will call a code red
Tru dat tru dat.
I get mine from Woolies in Canberra, always sealed. Oddly enough got it from a Woolies petrol station about a month ago and it wasn't sealed.
To bring forth just this type of question. Add in a few idiots just smart enough to pull plausible reasons out of their butts, and even bigger idiots to believe them, and you have created enough sales to justify the extra expense. This shit gets pulled all the time. Remember that thing with the 'no added permeate' BS? Its all a parlor show
The tamper seal is the lid, broken when first unscrewed leaving part of the lid on the bottle. From my observations the other seal is to stop leakage, those that haven’t got that seal have it inside the lid.
I try not to break the seal for as long as I can, particularly when driving long distances
I love seal milk.
Could be the seal extends the shelf life so they throw out less maybe?
Maybe Coles realised staff will always be too lazy to mop out the coolroom, better to stop tipped over milk leaking in the first place.
So many people interpreting this question in so many different ways.. just like life.. I love it.
To add more plastic to our world
The seal on the milk is there to make your life miserable when you try to open it with wet or greasy hands.
I thought wollies did?
Aldi doesn't
