An inexpensive disposable sanitary sealed food package extrudes paste-like food products to a feeder implement, such as a spoon, fork, or projecting knife therefrom. The package is in the form of a squeeze tube with a nozzle discharging to the feeder implement on the tube. A shrink wrap plastic seal covers the dispensing end of the tube and implement and may directly seal the nozzle or carry a plug seated in the nozzle. The squeeze tube has longitudinal stiffening ribs so that the tube will act as a handle for the feeder implement projecting therefrom. A chemical heat pack activated by bending the tube may be suspended in the tube.
