A closable food container body and utensil enclosing cover assembly of generally rectangular outline and in which the cover assembly is received by snap fit in the opening of the container body to seal the contents thereof. Both the cover assembly and the container body are formed with overlying coextensive peripheral flanges which may be planar to inhibit opening of the container once closed, deformed to facilitate opening of the container, formed to augment removable retention of the cover and the container body, or formed to provide a tamper proof closure. The cover assembly includes a utensil recess for receiving a spoon, a fork, or a drinking straw and is closed by a removable cover sheet secured to a central cover member panel about the periphery of the utensil recess but having a loose, unattached peripheral portion to facilitate grasping for manual removal to gain access to the utensil.
