Abstract
La présente invention a trait à un contenant amélioré pour une pluralité de produits alimentaires comportant un réceptacle et un insert emboîté. Le réceptacle et l'insert emboîté sont moulés par injection. Un scellé amovible recouvre le contenant ainsi obtenu présentant deux compartiments de produits alimentaires séparés. Le contenant permet au consommateur de tenir d'une main le contenant comprenant les deux compartiments de produits alimentaires, permettant ainsi au consommateur de mélanger et de consommer les produits alimentaires avec l'autre main. Le contenant est idéal pour des frites et sauce, biscuits et fromage, ou tout autre produit alimentaires compatibles que l'on souhaite maintenir séparés préalablement à la consommation.
