Hybrid food container lids convertible into cutlery may include a scoop section and a handle section. The scoop section may be defined by an outer edge of the lid or a tear strip formed in the lid. The handle may fold against the scoop as the lid is attached to a container. The handle may include a first guiding line that defines a first fold of the handle. The first fold may bring the sides of the handle together. Another guiding line may define a second fold of the handle that causes the scoop to become flat or concave when the handle is also folded along the first guiding line. The scoop section and the handle section may together form a piece of cutlery such as a spoon, a fork, a spork, and so forth. The cutlery and/or other portions of the hybrid lid may be disposable.

Method for providing a container with food, the method comprising: providing a container for infant formula food, adding the food, sealing the container with a gas-tight membrane seal, adding an inner scannable code on the gas-tight membrane seal, closing the container with a tamper-proof closure means, so that the inner scannable code is not scannable without breaking a part of the tamper-proof closure means, and storing the inner scannable code in a database.

A lid and scoop assembly for a container is disclosed.

A sealed disposable container (11) for preparing and retaining a food product (17′) has an entry wall (13), a bottom wall (14) opposite to the entry wall (13), and a lateral wall (15), which define an internal volume (16) pre-packaged in which is a predetermined amount of at least one first food substance (17) or of a precursor thereof. The entry wall (13) has at least one axially hollow coupling or positioning element (18), which defines at least part of an inlet (18, 26) of the disposable container (11). The disposable container (11) comprises an axially extending injector element (20), which is couplable with the at least one coupling or positioning element (18) or is integrally formed or fixed therewith, in such a way that at least a first distal portion (DP) of the injector element (20) extends within the internal volume (16). The at least one coupling or positioning element (18) is configured for coupling, in particular sealed coupling, with a dispensing element (51) of a preparation machine (1), for introducing into the internal volume (16) a flow of pressurized hot water and/or steam required for preparing the food product.

Package of a food product comprising a container and a sealing foil connected to the mouth edge of the container and a tool for picking the product, fixed to the surface of the sealing foil, wherein the sealing foil has a surface of thermoplastic plastic material, the tool is a flattened body of cellulosic or wood-cellulosic material, shaped like a spatula, and is fixed to said surface of the sealing foil by ultrasound welding, in the absence of an added adhesive material, along a section of a creasing line generated on the surface of the tool by the sonotrode during the welding process.

The present disclosure relates to a container for retort food and, more specifically, to a container for retort food including: a container body in which food may be input and stored; and an inner cap covering the container body. The inner cap covering the container body has a predetermined depth, and thus, effective sterilization may be performed during a retort processing process, overflow of the food in the container body may be prevented, and there is an advantage in satisfying regulations regarding a packing space ratio.

Vacuum insulated storage containers storage containers are provided. In some embodiments, an insulating container is provided comprising: a receptacle that comprises an inner receptacle, an outer receptacle, and a first gasket configured to form a first seal between the inner receptacle and the outer receptacle, wherein one or more compartments are formed in the inner receptacle and wherein a first vacuum cavity is formed between an outer wall of the inner receptacle and an inner wall of the outer receptacle; a one-piece lid structure that comprises an inner lid portion, an outer lid portion, and a second gasket configured to form a second seal between the inner lid portion and the outer lid portion, wherein a second vacuum cavity is formed between an outer wall of the inner lid portion and an inner wall of the outer lid portion; a plurality of latches connected to an outer wall of the outer lid portion, wherein each of the plurality of latches is configured to connect the one-piece lid structure to the receptacle; and a cover that is formed to securably attach to the outer lid portion.

The present invention provides an anti-theft container having a body, a first cover, a second cover, a pulling structure, and an accommodating recess. The body comprising a convex fastening portion; the first cover comprising a plurality of first coupling portions and a tab; the second cover comprising a top, a bottom, a groove portion, a plurality of second coupling portions and a tear line; the tear line enclosing a shaped area along the second cover and the pulling structure is able to be randomly disposed within the circumferential region. When the convex fastening portion is inserted to the retaining groove portion relative to each other, the convex fastening portion is disabled to be separated from the retaining groove portion, an external force is required to be applied to the pulling structure in order to lift the pulling structure along with the circumferential region so as to be separated from the second cover. When the first cover combined with a plurality of the second coupling portions of the second cover through a plurality of the first coupling portions, the tab which needs to be applied to an external force in order to lift the first cover and separated from the second cover.

A tamper-evident container including: a container body having a first hollow convex loop on a periphery of an opening thereof; and a lid having a second hollow convex loop and a force application structure, where the second hollow convex loop is used to engage with the first hollow convex loop, and a loop-shaped breakable line is provided on a loop-shaped top surface of the second hollow convex loop; where, when an illegitimate user applies a lifting force on any local area of the second hollow convex loop of the lid to make the local area moving upward with a displacement exceeding a threshold, a corresponding local area of the loop-shaped breakable line will be broken to show that the tamper-evident container has been tampered with.

A multi-compartment container system includes a plurality of compartments. Each compartment includes a cup portion comprising a volume adapted to hold a food or liquid, and a frame portion joined to the cup portion. The frame portion surrounds a top portion or edge of the cup portion, and includes a connector element disposed on a side of the frame and one or more first mating elements. The compartment also includes a lid having one or more second mating elements adapted to engage with the one or more first mating elements of the frame to form a seal, and a chamber adapted to hold a utensil. The connector element of the frame is joined to an adjacent connector element of an adjacent frame of an adjacent compartment. The cup portion includes a first section and a second section, and the cup portion is adapted to move between an expanded state in which no part of the second section is inside the first section and a collapsed state in which at least a portion of the second section is inside the first section.
