  • Packaged Food Product and Method of Producing the Packaged Food Product
    Publication number: 20240099336
    Abstract: A packaged food product includes a container and a food product. The container has a rim and at least one sidewall extending from the rim to a bottom wall. The at least one sidewall and the bottom wall define a storage area, and the food product is retained within the storage area such that the food product is in contact with the sidewall. The sidewall is readily deformable by a hand of a user to reduce a volume of the storage area. Finger engaging recesses are formed in the bottom wall to assist in deforming the container, with reducing the volume of the storage area causing the food product to exit the storage area. The bottom wall of the container includes an integral tool portion for breaking up and/or tenderizing the food product after removal from the storage area. The food product can be a wet cat or dog food.
