Under the LOOK component, which practice helps protect product labels?

• A. Store labels securely and destroy outdated labels
• B. Publicly display all labels for traceability
• C. Maintain labels in an unlocked cabinet
• D. Share labels with contractors

Answer: (A)

Within LOOK, protecting product labels hinges on controlling access to the labeling materials and ensuring only current, correct labels are used. Storing labels securely and destroying outdated labels does exactly that: it preserves label integrity, prevents tampering or reuse of old labels, and reduces the chances of mislabeling a product. When labels are kept in a secure location and outdated ones are properly removed, recalls and regulatory compliance are more reliable because the information on what’s on the shelf matches what’s intended to be distributed. Keeping labels publicly displayed or in an unlocked cabinet would expose them to tampering or accidental misuse, and sharing labels with contractors expands the risk of unauthorized access or disclosure.
