Abstract

An improved container for multiple food products comprising a receptacle and a nested insert. The receptacle and nested insert are injection molded. One removable seal covers the resultant container having two separate food product compartments. The container allows a consumer to hold the container having both food product compartments in one hand, thus enabling the consumer to mix and eat the food products with the other hand. The container is ideal for chips and salsa, crackers and cheese, or any other compatible food products that are desirably kept separate until shortly before consuming.
