Abstract

A container (100) comprises a bowl (102) having a rim (106), and a lid (104) attachable to the bowl (102). The lid (104) is configured for attachment to the bowl (102) in a plurality of different orientations, including (i) a first orientation wherein the lid (104) is attached to the bowl (102) and forms a continuous seal with the rim (106) along the entire perimeter of the rim (106), thereby sealing the container (100), and (ii) a second orientation wherein the lid (104) is attached to the bowl (102) so as to allow ventilation of the container (100).
