摘要 |
The invention provides a two-component packaged food product comprising: a container (1) having substantially rigid walls (2) and an opening (3) for filling and emptying the container; a first food component (4) filling a first part of the container (1); a second food component (5) different from the first food component (4) filling a second part of the container separate from the first part, but with the second food component directly contacting the first food component; and a closure (7) secured to the opening of the container (1), characterised in that there is substantially no head space inside the container (1) between the container and closure and the first and second food components, whereby mixing of the food components when the container is agitated is reduced. Closure cap (7) has a compressible base portion (10), or an expansion chamber therein (12, Figure 3), to accommodate thermal expansion. Zero head space may be achieved by filling a head space with a semi-solid foam.
