Bunzl Catering Supplies is bringing DrinkSafe anti-spiking drink covers to hospitality operators, pitching the product as an innovative, easy-to-deploy addition to wider venue safety measures.

Bunzl Catering Supplies has announced the launch of DrinkSafe anti-spiking drink covers into the hospitality market, offering bars, pubs, clubs and event operators a practical way to help protect drinks from tampering during service.

Spiking—adding alcohol or drugs to someone’s drink without their knowledge—has driven renewed focus on prevention across the night-time economy, with operators under pressure to demonstrate clear procedures and visible safety initiatives.

Product overview
DrinkSafe anti-spiking covers are single-use foil covers designed to help prevent drink spiking. Made from 100mm sheets of aluminium foil, they fit the vast majority of drinking vessels used across bars and events. The covers are designed so a straw can be easily inserted, while the underside uses a food-safe adhesive intended to hold the cover in place without negatively affecting the beverage.

How they’re used—and what they can’t do
Hospitality suppliers and venue operators say physical barriers can be particularly useful in crowded environments, high-volume service and large-scale events. Industry bodies also stress that no single product can eliminate risk on its own, and that effective prevention relies on a combination of staff training, customer communication, incident reporting and strong safeguarding practices.

How the launch fits into venue operations
With Bunzl Catering Supplies distributing the product into the sector, operators can add drink covers as a visible option at the bar or for specific events, alongside existing initiatives such as staff training on recognising warning signs, clearer processes for supporting customers, and improved CCTV coverage. Campaigners argue the most effective approach is layered: prevention tools, rapid response protocols, and a culture where reporting is taken seriously.

Availability for hospitality buyers
The covers are being positioned for hospitality procurement, with venues able to order in bulk for bars, clubs and event operations. Supporters say the appeal is the low-friction set-up: a small, easy-to-store item that can be introduced quickly during busy service periods and used as part of a broader customer-safety message.

As demand grows for visible safety steps on nights out, Bunzl Catering Supplies’ rollout of DrinkSafe covers underscores how suppliers and operators are looking for innovations that can be implemented quickly—while continuing to rely on training, policies and reporting processes as the foundation of safer hospitality environments.
