Abstract
A food package includes first and second pouches and a retaining sheet that removably secures the second pouch at an outer surface of the first pouch. The first pouch includes an opening element that provides access to the first pouch when a user performs an opening action on the first pouch. The retaining sheet includes a first portion adhered along an upper region of the first pouch, a second portion adhered along a lower region of the first pouch, and a third portion between the first and second portions that engages the second pouch to secure the second pouch between the retaining sheet and the first pouch. A perforated region connects the first and third portions and is configured to separate the third portion from the first portion when the user performs the opening action to at least partially release the second pouch from the first pouch.
