If it is desired to remove a neat slice of a spread from such a tub, it is almost impossible to do this and the slice usually needs to be "spooned" out. Also, when cooking, it is often desirable to remove a proportion of spread. The invention seeks to provide a solution to this problem. For example it may be desirable to remove lOOg for a 50Og tub of spread. It is difficult to measure this when the spread is in the tub.

A container of spread comprising the above defined novel package filled with spread.</p> |
