Food packaging integrity and food packaging medium integrity #240

We're reviewing these two classes, which are currently marked as food object qualities. The problem is qualities or characteristics of things should be immediately visible or sense-able. However both of these classes have underlings which are providing imperceptible information:

"opened by consumer", "drained" are about a process applied to them in past; even "compromised" is an interpretation of some quality observation like "torn" or "opened" or "poked". So we are debating moving these over to children of what would be a new "food safety data item" class. I'm not inclined to mint new terms, but rather to advocate change in relation: data item "is about" food product rather than food product "has quality" quality, but that's just my opinion; I know it would require changes downstream for those using graphs.

Feedback about this is welcome.
