A pet food composition including: 5% by mass or greater of fats and oils, in which, in measurement values obtained from the following deformation test, a value at 25 C. is 0.5 N or greater and a value at 60 C. is less than 0.1 N. An object to be measured is placed on a flat dish, a plunger is pressed against a central portion of the object from above to apply a load thereto, and a stress is measured while the plunger is allowed to move downward at a constant speed. A maximum value of the stress during a period from the contact of the plunger with the object to be measured to the movement of the plunger by a distance of 4 mm is obtained. A unit of an average value is converted into newtons and the value is set as the measurement value.

Container (1) having a container body (10) having a sealing lip (12). The container (1) comprises a bottom perforated film (20) adhered to the sealing lip (12) at a first adhesion strength (S1), a top film (30) adhered to the bottom perforated film (20) at a second adhesion strength (S2) at locations not vertically aligned with a seal end (38), and wherein the top film (30) adheres to the bottom perforated film (20) at a third adhesion strength (S3) at the seal end (38). The third adhesion strength (S3) is greater than the first adhesion strength (S1) which is greater than the second adhesion strength (S2), such that the top film (30) is peelable relative to the bottom perforated film (24) at the opening end (36), and the top film (30) is peelable with the bottom perforated film (20) relative to the container body (10) at the seal end (38).

A disposable bird feeder preferably containing suet cake or other edible substance, is housed in a protective container carrying a removable, adhesive backed manufacturer's label. Concealed behind the label and in front of the container's one wall is a flat collapsed, multi-part suspension linkage. The arrangement is such that the linkage, when unfolded and extended, can be utilized to hang the container from a tree or other support. At one end of the linkage is a split suspension loop. In the event of loss or breakage of the container or its contents, a new unit can be installed, with a minimum of time, mess, and expense. Metal cages and the like are neither required, nor utilized in most installations.

Embodiments herein relate to an ultrasonically weldable polymeric lid for a microwaveable polymeric container. In an embodiment, a lid for microwaveable containers can include a polymeric ring. The polymeric ring can define a central aperture having an inner diameter. The polymeric ring can also include a recessed shelf contacting the inner diameter of the central aperture and an ultrasonic bonding surface disposed to the outside of the recessed shelf. The lid can include a peelable film disposed on the recessed shelf and occluding the central aperture. The peelable film can be removably bonded to the recessed shelf, and can include a tab attached to an edge of the peelable film. In some cases the lid can contain substantially no metal content. Other embodiments are also included herein.
