Abstract: Food packaging (50) has a food vessel (52) and a food tray (54). The vessel has an upper lip (56) and an inwardly projecting ledge (58) below the upper lip. The food tray has a pair of opposed handle structures (70a, 70b) and a tray portion (72) depending from the handle structures. Each handle structure has an outwardly projecting protuberance (82). The food tray is positioned within the food vessel with each protuberance resting on the inwardly projecting ledge such that the tray portion is suspended within the food vessel by the handle structures. This forms two food compartments (90, 92): one (90) below and one (92) above the tray portion. The vessel may be topped by a topping film (98).
