Abstract: A carton can be initially opened by pulling a gripping tab of a tear strip to detach of cover from the remaining body of the carton except along a hinge body portion on one side of the carton. With this arrangement, the carton can be opened by folding the cover back relative to the front panel along a hinge axis. Closing of the carton is performed by initially pivoting the cover such that a front portion of the cover extends about and overlaps a front panel portion of the carton. Then, the cover is pushed down, causing a portion of the hinge-defining strip to fold and the cover to shift downward so as to extend about and overlap portions of each of the sides of the carton.

Abstract: A packaged food product includes a container and a food product. The container has a rim and at least one wall extending away from the rim. The at least one wall defines a storage area, and the food product is retained within the storage area such that the food product is in contact with the at least one wall. The at least one wall is readily deformable by a hand of a user to reduce a volume of the storage area. Reducing the volume of the storage area causes the food product to exit the storage area. The container includes an integral tool portion including a tine extending from a distal end of the tool portion for breaking up the food product after removal from the storage area. The food product can be a wet cat or dog food.
