Abstract (en)
[origin: US2010181323A1] A plastic food container includes a lid adapted for sealing arrangement with a base. The rim of the base has an undercut formation adapted to receive the perimeter flange and flange tab of the lid when the lid and base are in the sealed arrangement. The flange tab includes an undercut release mechanism that allows a user to grasp a portion of the flange tab and initially open a sealed container via the extraction of the flange tab from the undercut formation by application of pulling force to the undercut release mechanism. The flange tab includes tamper evident means that provides visible indication that the undercut release mechanism has been utilized to initially open the sealed container.
