Abstract
The food package includes a base with a food storage compartment and a lid selectively mateable with the base for closing the compartment. The periphery of the base has a flange that abuts a corresponding flange of the lid when the lid is mated to the base to close the compartment. Prior to initially opening the food package, the flanges of the base and lid are sealed together at a sealing area surrounding the food compartment to seal the food compartment. The flanges of both the base and lid have an outwardly extending tab portion that at least partially overlap with each other. An easy-open feature, located on one of the overlapping tab portions, is sized and positioned to space the adjacent tabs apart in order to facilitate pulling apart the flanges to separate the lid from the base to gain access to the food product in the food compartment of the base.
