Claim 11:
12. A container for storing food, comprising:
a base portion defining a storage compartment to store food, the base portion having an upper rim surrounding an opening into the storage compartment;
a film removably attached to the upper rim of the base portion to cover the opening and seal the storage compartment, wherein the film is removable from the base portion to gain access to the food in the storage compartment; and
a reversible lid including:
a central panel disposed in a first plane,
a rim surrounding the panel, the rim extending away from the first plane,
a shoulder extending outwardly from the rim, and
a first shoulder disposed between the rim and the shoulder in a second plane that is different from the first plane,, the lid attachable to the base portion in two different configurations, including a first configuration in which the panel of the lid presses against the film without damaging the seal created by the film and the shoulder faces the upper rim of the base portion, and a second configuration in which the lid is inverted relative to the first configuration and snap-fit to the base portion to form a leak-resistant seal after the film is removed from the base portion.
