Abstract: A container includes a basket and lid. The basket and lid each have a lip along at least a portion of a periphery and a tear strip connected along at least a portion of the lip. An outer edge of the lip includes notches and an inner edge of the tear strip complements the outer edge of the lip. The tear strip is connected to the lip by links arranged at notches of the outer edge of the lip. The basket tear strip is bonded to the lid tear strip to resist separation of the lid from the basket. The bonded basket tear strip and lid tear strip are detachable from the basket lip and the lid lip urged away from the basket and the lid, exposing the outer edge of the basket lip and the outer edge of the lid lip.
