A guard for covering food located with a housing has first and second legs shaped to fit about the housing to resist transverse movement relative to the housing. The guard can be transparent and having openings at first and second positions. A flap is mounted to be movable relative to each opening. The flap covers its openings in a first position and is movable to a second position to allow a hand to extend through the opening to grasp food. The guard can have voids to receive flap lugs to allow the flap to pivot relative thereto. The flap may have a trapezoidal shape, and the sides of the cover may slant inwardly from their bottoms towards their tops. The flap may have a handle section and can be made of flexible material.
