- the term "food” means a product or composition that is intended for ingestion by an animal, including a human, and provides at least one nutrient to the animal.
- the size, shape and material of the portable package carrying case 10 are non-limiting.
- the portable package carrying case 10 is illustrated as being designed to hold up to thirty food containers 20; however, it can be appreciated that the portable package carrying case 10 can be designed to hold more than or less than thirty food containers 20.
- the portable package carrying case 10 is illustrated as being a two-piece system; however, the portable package carrying case 10 can be formed of more than or less than two pieces. Each of the two pieces is illustrated as being a mirror configuration of one another; however; this is not required.
- a first side 11 of the portable package carrying case 10 when the portable package carrying case 10 is in the open position, is designed to receive the food containers 20. Once the desired amount of the food containers 20 are loaded into the first side
