  • Publication number: 20190106248
    Abstract: Various tamper-evident and/or tamper-resistant containers are disclosed. In some embodiments, the container comprises a base and a lid. The base can receive a food product. The lid can be engaged with the base to form a closed chamber in the container. In some embodiments, the lid is received in a peripheral channel in the base and/or recessed below an upper lip of the base to inhibit grasping of a peripheral edge of the lid. The lid can have a tab and a recess. The tab can be positioned in the recess. An indicator can overlay the tab in the recess. To open the container, the tab is drawn upward which pulls the lid out of engagement with the base. Removing the tab from the recess tears or otherwise mars the appearance of the indicator.
