  • Publication number: 20050147718
    Abstract: The present invention is an improved food container barrier. In particular, the present invention is directed to a food container barrier for dividing a food container into at least two chambers. A preferred embodiment of the food container barrier comprises a circular tabbed plane with two tabs, where the tabs are pivotal along a circumferential crease in the plane and configured to support the plane within a food container when bent. The barrier thus creates two separate chambers within the food container. The barrier has at least one passage through the thickness of the plane positioned on the perimeter of the plane configured to exclude passage of selected food items. The barrier is preferably bowed convex.
