Zusammenfassung:A package includes a container (10) having a closed bottom (14), an open top having an outwardly extending flange (42), and a body (12) having an enclosed generally cylindrical perimeter surrounding a longitudinal axis between the bottom and the top. A foil (44) is sealed to the outwardly extending flange (42) to close the open top and a cap (46) positioned over the foil (44) and removably connected to the outwardly extending flange (42) to protect the foil, the bottom, foil sealed top, and body together defining an interior volume. The body includes an opposed pair of longitudinally extending inward protrusions (34) forming a graspable handle dividing the body into a front label surface (32) occupying at least 180° of the body and a back label surface (30) smaller than the front label surface. Each inward protrusion (34) includes a plurality of longitudinal ridges (36) on a forwardly facing surface to facilitate single handed grasping of the package. A plurality of circumferential ribs (48) is situated between an upper end of the inward protrusions and the outwardly extending flange to preserve the package shape during storage on commercial food storage racks.
