I can’t remember if mine have that probably not since I haven’t ordered any for a short while as I’m on a pump. Although that photo is a little blurry my assumption would be it’s incase anything goes wrong and for some reason you don’t have the original box, it’ll have information like expirary date, LOT number etc basically any important information they’d need if there was a problem

Interesting.

Mine doesn’t have this.
Each actual cartridge is clearly labelled.

Unless it’s some new protocol with packaging specification?

Fiasp and Tresiba always packaged individually. Cut up side and push out top. No problems

Just annoying of the change after 20+ years they've decided to start doing that recently, used to be so much easier breaking the foil and popping the cartridge out :D

I think what Shandyt is saying is there is now an extra label stuck to the foil , I was a bit confused until I took a closer look .
