Abstract: A tamper evident food container 1 made from a foldable sheet material, including a base portion and a lid portion attached to the base portion. The container 1 further includes a locking tab insertable into a slot to retain the container 1 in a closed position. The container 1 further includes a release assembly for enabling release of the locking tab, the release assembly including a frangible line of weakness 15 for facilitating tearing of the release assembly, the frangible line of weakness 15 dividing the release assembly into sections 15, 17 which separate upon tearing of the line of weakness to expose the locking tab for release and opening of the container 1. As the container 1 needs to be physically damaged in order to open, a consumer is easily able to identify if their container 1 has been tampered with or opened prior to taking delivery.
