Abstract
A container has a hollow base and a cap to store a filled food product having an edible shell with a peripheral flange. The base has a top member with an opening, a bottom member and an upstanding wall member that connects the top and bottom members. The opening In the top member and the upstanding wall member are dimensioned such that the shell is capable of being partially contained within and supported by the base while the flange of the shell is vertically spaced above the uppermost part of the base. The cap is connected to the base to enclose the filled food product. The cap is dimensioned and configured such that, when the filled food product is positioned in the base and the cap is connected to the base to enclose the food product, an upper portion of the cap is spaced from the top of the filled food product, a middle portion of the cap engages the flange and projects downwardly therefrom, and a lower portion of the cap closes the cap to the base such that the cap presses the filled food product to the base. The container thereby prevents movement of the filled food product relative to the base, while the flange is vertically spaced above the uppermost part of the base to enable the filled food product to be gripped by the flange for easy removal from the base.
