Tamper-resistant plastic container for foods

A tamper-resistant container (1; 101) is described, comprising a cover (3; 103), having an upper outwardly extending peripheral flange (17; 117), a bottom (2; 102) having an upper peripheral flange (8; 108) forming, at least in part, an upwardly protruding rib (15; 115) which extends around the perimeter of bottom (2; 102), said rib (15; 115) being arranged in such a way as to render said upper peripheral flange (17; 117) of the cover (3; 103) relatively inaccessible, when the container (1; 101) is closed, and a hinge (10; 110), having a breakable portion (21; 121), which connects said peripheral flange (17; 117) of the cover (3; 103) to said bottom (2; 102), characterized in that said breakable portion (21; 121) is joined, in a partially removable way, to said peripheral flange (17; 117) of the cover (3; 103), and in a completely removable way to said bottom (2; 102), so that the removal of breakable portion (21; 121) causes said cover (3; 103) to detach from said bottom (2; 102) and the hinge (10; 110) to only partially separate from said peripheral flange (17; 117) of the cover (3; 103), thereby facilitating the removal of the cover (3; 103) from the bottom (2; 102)to open the container (1; 101).
