Abstract

The present invention relates to a dispensing closure being attachable to a container for dispensing a flowable medium from the container, having a closure body having an outer skirt and a dispensing element being attached to the closure body and being pivotable relative to the closure body between a closed position and a dispensing position. The outer skirt of the closure body has an upper rim with a recess region, and the dispensing closure has a tamper evident band being positioned in the recess region and being attached to the upper rim via at least one frangible connection, wherein the tamper evident band is positioned in the recess region such that it is positioned at least partly between the upper rim and the extension portion of the dispensing element, so that the dispensing element cannot be moved into its dispensing position, before the tamper evident band is removed.
