1. A system for detecting a status of a seal comprising:

  • a container;

    a lid configured to engage the container to form the seal between the lid and the container;

    a seal status detection component positioned adjacent to the lid for indicating and communicating the status of the seal;

    the seal status detection component comprise a RFID tag that is positioned over the lid;

    enabling an operation of the RFID tag when the lid is inwardly deflected, as when an interior of the container is in a vacuum state;

    when the seal of the container is broken and the interior of the container is no longer in the vacuum state, the lid will un-deflect, or pop up, and come into proximity or contact with the RFID tag, thereby disabling the operation of the RFID tag;

    the enabling and disabling operation of the RFID tag read by a RFID reader.
