NUTRITIVE SUBSTANCE DELIVERY CONTAINER

摘要

A novel apparatus (10) for delivering a nutritive substance comprises a container body (14) having a base at one end thereof, an upper portion (12) adapted for removable receipt of a closure (16), the upper portion defining an opening (22) therein, and a chamber defined by the container body (14), the chamber being in fluid communication with the upper portion opening (22). A laminate seal (42) having at least two layers is bonded across the upper portion opening (22) and is adapted to provide an airtight seal across the opening (20). A nutritive substance is bonded to at least one layer of the laminate seal (42). The container (14) additionally comprises a closure (16) removably coupled to the upper portion (12). The closure (116) comprises a cutting portion (154) which is adapted to pierce the laminate seal (146), thereby releasing the nutritive substance into the container contents.
