Abstract (en)

A container for a ready-to-eat food product has a body (12), of plastics or paper, and a cover (16) consisting of an inner dish-shaped cover member (18) heat-sealed to the inner cover member (18). The cover members (18, 20) provide between them a space (28) to house a spoon (30) or other object (for example a sachet containing another food ingredient). The adhesion between the outer cover member (20) and the inner cover member (18) is less than that between the inner cover member (18) and the body (12), so that the inner cover member (18) remains in place as the outer cover member (20) is peeled off, by means of a tab (26). The inner cover member (18) can then be peeled off using a tab (24). The tab (24) on the inner cover member (18) can be folded inwards so that it is concealed between the inner and outer cover members (18, 20) until the outer cover member (20) is removed. The inner and outer cover members (18, 20) may be of metal foil. <IMAGE>
