Abstract: A lid for a food jar is described that may be used to store and transport food items. The lid includes a storage compartment. A sliding door extends from the lid to open or reveal the compartment, and the sliding door retracts to the lid to cover or conceal the compartment. The lid functions with a variety of containers including insulated or uninsulated structures to store the food items, possibly at warmed or chilled temperatures for later consumption.

Abstract: A food container includes a base including one or more compartments. A lid is configured to engage to the base. A lower surface of the lid includes closing members. The closing members include a central portion formed from a first material and a distal portion formed from a second material. The central portion extends from or is integral with the lower surface of the lid. The closing members close the one or more compartments. The distal portion compresses or seals against an upper surface of the base or an insert positioned in one of the one or more compartments.
