Abstract
A container comprises a basket having a basket lip and a lid with lid lip connected to a tear strip, the tear strip being bonded to the basket lip to form a seal. An applied force to the seal separates the tear strip from the lid so that the tear strip remains bonded to the basket lip and so that a lid tear surface is exposed. The basket lip includes a basket snap feature and the lid lip includes a lid snap feature. The basket snap feature and the lid snap feature are mateable to resist separation of the lid from the basket.
