Abstract
An individual serving food container is provided for housing individual servings of food products, such as pie slices and the like, which are generally triangular or wedge shaped and have an outwardly extending 'crust' portion. The container includes a tray/cover combination having means for supporting the crust portions of such food product servings from collapsing when housed within the container. The rear wall of the tray has a transverse edge thereof remote from the bottom wall which extends rearwardly therefrom to define a platform adapted to support the outwardly extending crust portion of the wedge-shaped food serving contained in the housing cavity. The container is also provided with means facilitating removal of stored individual servings therefrom and guide means for facilitating proper alignment of locking elements disposed on the cover and tray so as to simplify the locking operation.
