Abstract: A one-piece thermoformed reclosable plastic container includes a base defining a chamber, a cover for closing the base, an integral hinge connecting the base and cover for relative movement, and a tamper-evident locking assembly formed by opposing members extending outwardly from the periphery of the base and cover that are configured to securely engage with each other in an initial closed and locked position of the container. At least one of the two locking members includes an engaged portion that is releasably connected to a periphery of the base and/or the cover and is manually removed when the container is initially opened, making it apparent to the merchant and/or customer that the locking assembly has been opened.
