Abstract: A sanitary mount or stand for a container having a two-component construction with a platform for supporting the container. The platform is detachably connected to a support base which constitutes a barrier interfering with the path of insects which would normally follow a path leading to the contents of the container. The support base includes a circular barrier defined between an outer wall and an inner wall channel which may serve as a moat for holding a quantity of liquid or a sticky substance. The container may include a downwardly depending shoulder or stud and a threaded shank or pin and slot attachment which is wherein engagement of the shoulder with the support base provides a separation between the underside of the food container carrying platform and the support base that cannot be traversed by the insects.
