A food container includes an inner receptacle and an outer sleeve. The inner receptacle and the outer sleeve are slidably engaged to contain a food item within the container. The container has a locking mechanism that engages the inner receptacle with the outer sleeve to prevent the container from accidentally sliding open. The outer sleeve folds into a flat position so that the outer sleeve may be stored in a small space.
