Abstract
Various packages for food products are provided herein. In one embodiment, a food package has a rectangular substantially planar rigid bottom wall; two slanted side/side walls extending angularly upwardly from the bottom wall, each forming an angle of from about 55 to about 75 degrees from vertical axes extending orthogonally from a plane formed by the bottom wall; and a rectangular opening opposite the bottom wall, the opening larger in area than the rectangular rigid bottom wall. A top side wall and a bottom side wall extend upwardly from the bottom wall; and a flexible film extends over the opening and seals the opening. The side walls are configured to engage and hold the food product, each side wall being angularly ramped and extending downward and inward toward the bottom wall, and having at least one wall which extends downwardly from the angularly upward extending side wall.
