Question

We forgot to open a Materna package before Shabbat. What should have been done? [There is a plastic lid that needs to be torn around the entire perimeter of the package. Additionally, there is an inner foil lid.]

Answer

Shalom Rav

The inner lid can be opened without issue. The outer plastic lid should be opened by a non-Jew, and if there is no non-Jew available, it should be opened with a change in the usual manner.
