The present disclosure provides an adapter configured to be secured to an edge of a container. The adapter may include a top portion configured to conform to a top surface of the edge of the container. The adapter may also include a bottom portion coupled to the top portion. The bottom portion may include a raised portion configured to conform to a bottom surface of the edge of the container. Further, a bottom surface of the bottom portion may include a substantially planar slot configured to receive a mounting clip. In one example, the mounting clip may be connected to a food guard configured to cover an opening in the container.
