Abstract: A packaging container that has a tamper-evident feature is described whereby an effort to tamper with the packaging is evident to a later consumer. The packaging includes a lid that is securely attached to a tub. The lid includes an inner portion and an outer portion which are connected by a line which will tear when force is applied to the lid to remove it, thus causing the outer portion to separate from the inner portion of the lid, and thus indicating that an attempt was made to open the packaging. The force required to remove the outer portion of the lid from the inner portion of the lid is preferably less than the force required to remove the inner portion of the lid from the tub.
