WG Food TR Label
WG · AM 58 kHz label · food-pack approved
TR Label engineered for food-pack applications — meat trays, deli containers, dairy cartons, packaged produce. Adhesive substrate chosen for food-contact-adjacent surfaces, not just dry-goods packaging. Same 58 kHz AM detection as the rest of the TR family; deactivates at the cash wrap with any AM pad. For microwave-safe food packaging, see the Microwavable TR or Overlay Microwave TR variants instead.

Overview
Food-pack adhesive EAS label for grocery applications.
Grocery retailers protecting high-shrink items — premium meat cuts, deli platters, specialty cheeses — need EAS labels that adhere reliably to food packaging and don't compromise food-contact regulations. Food TR addresses both. The adhesive and label substrate are spec'd for the kinds of films and trays grocery uses. For products that may go in a microwave with the label still on, choose Microwavable TR or Overlay Microwave TR instead — those address the microwave-safety failure mode that standard EAS labels can have.
Features

- Cost-effective versus reusable hard tags
- 58 kHz acoustomagnetic — compatible with any AM EAS gate
- Reliable detection on metal/foil-containing products (AM advantage over RF labels)
- Optional custom printing for branding and security messaging
