主权项 1. A packaged food product including a food component (4) and a sauce (5) provided in packaging (1), the packaging comprising: a container (2) containing the food component (4); and a lid (3) rotatably engageable with the container (2) about an axis of rotation and in a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation, the lid selectively closing the container (2) and having an open concavity into which the sauce (5) is received, the sauce (5) being selectively separated from the food component (4) by a seal (7) closing off the open concavity of the lid (3) facing the food component (4) in the container (2), wherein the container (2) comprises a tearing mechanism (11) constructed and arranged to selectively tear the seal (7) along a circumferential direction when the lid (3) is rotated about the axis of rotation between a pre-tearing position and a tearing position, wherein the open concavity of the lid (3) is defined by an edge portion of the lid (3) that lies in a plane skewed to a plane perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the lid (3), the seal (7) being fixed to the edge portion such that the seal (7) likewise lies in the skewed plane, wherein in the pre-tearing position of the lid (3), the tearing mechanism (11) is spaced away from the seal along the direction of the axis of rotation of the lid (3), and in the tearing position the tearing mechanism (11) is relatively closer to the seal (7) to permit tearing of the seal (7); wherein the sauce (5) rests substantially on the seal (7) above the food component (4) when the lid (3) is engaged with the container (2), such that the sauce (5) can fall onto the food component (4) when the seal (7) is torn.
