Food Package

Abstract

A food package. The food package includes one or more pockets for holding food in separate pockets. The pockets are positioned on the interior of the bag, and the pockets are each sealable by a fastener, such as a zipper. The food package has a perforated tab at an upper end that encompasses a zipper fastener for opening and closing the food package. The perforated tab provides a more permanent seal because it requires the tearing or cutting of the tab above the zipper seal to expose the zipper seal and open the food package. In this way, the contents of the pockets are kept fresh within the food package.
