Abstract: A lid for a container of the type having a peripheral lip at an open end, comprising a cover panel for generally covering the open end of the container. A peripheral wall is provided on the periphery of the cover panel. The peripheral wall is adapted to cooperate with the peripheral lip of the container for releasably securing the lid to the container. The peripheral wall has a tamper indicator tab defined by a slit through the peripheral wall, a frangible membrane intersecting the slit, and a protrusion cooperating with the peripheral lip of the container such that the frangible membrane is adapted to break upon removal of the lid from the container. An end of the tamper indicator lid is detached from a remainder of the lid to indicate that the lid has been removed from the container.
