Packaged Food Product and Method of Packaging

Abstract:

A packaged food product includes a container having at least one sidewall, a first end closure sealing a first end of the container and a second end closure sealing a second end of the container. The packaged food product also includes at least one dough product and a cup within the container. The cup has at least one sidewall, a bottom wall and a slit in the at least one sidewall. The at least one sidewall of the cup contacts the at least one sidewall of the container upon inserting the cup into the container, with the slit allowing deflection of the cup sidewall during insertion and a reduction in a required insertion force. The packaged food product further includes at least one additional food ingredient within the cup.
