This is a big reason why retail product barcode stickers (not barcodes printed directly on a package as it comes from the manufacturer) are now commonly printed on frangible stock with built in slices in it which breaks apart in 3, 4 or more pieces if you try to peel it off.
Hardly matters when one may print their own barcode on labels and cover the frangible one.
printing your own sticker requires way more prep than ripping one off a pack of ground beef and sticking it on a pack ribeye steak.
