The present invention relates to a compostable food packaging comprising: a) a compostable moulded tray having an interior cavity for receiving a foodstuff, an opening through which the foodstuff can be accessed, and a lip extending at least partially around the opening; b) wherein the compostable moulded tray forms a compostable barrier, or wherein the compostable moulded tray comprises a compostable barrier film extended over, and bonded to, the interior cavity and lip of the tray by means of a paper and biofilm heat seal adhesive; and c) a compostable lid which is peelably adhered around the opening and extending to the lip using a peelable adhesive. The packaging is particularly useful for producing single serve sauce pots for quick serve restaurants and take-away outlets, but could also be used for single serve cooking sauces and concentrated stock. The invention also relates to methods of producing such a compostable food packaging.
