The container is partic. for convenience foodstuffs, which can be eaten directly out of it. It comprises a body for the contents, with a base and sidewall (31), the latter ending in a round bead (32) at the mouth. A cap fitting in the latter (35) has an annular flange (37) at the outer edge, ending in a second round bead (40). A seal (63) is provided between the cpa and the first bead, and there is an annulr recess in the flange and the first bead, working with the seal so as to form a sure hermetic joint between the two. The recess in the cap flange can secure it to the bead, distorting the latter elastically in the process.
