The container is formed of flexible film material and has at least one surrounding wall, a closed top and a closed bottom and at least one mounting aperture. The aperture is located adjacent the top. The container is sized and shaped to slidably surround a plurality of horizontally stacked food pads. The pads have at least one planar surface. The surrounding wall has at least one openable perforation. The perforation is orthogonal to the planar surface. The perforation has at least one arresting feature. The arresting feature provides an intermediate point for controlling initial opening of the perforation. A single rigid member is provided within the dispenser with the food pads disposed opposite the at least one openable perforation. The rigid member maintains the dispenser in a free-standing vertical orientation.
