## Abstract

A tray-shaped food-accommodating container for a domestic refrigeration appliance includes a lateral wall with a first planar wall and at least a second planar wall disposed at an angle to each other. The first and second planar walls open out at a curved transition of the lateral wall interconnecting the first and second planar walls. A decorative film, which is provided in areas of the lateral wall, is formed in one piece across the transition and areas of the first and second planar walls. A lower edge of the decorative film, which faces away from an upper edge of the container, is disposed along a stepless surface-area of the transition, along a stepless surface-area of the first planar wall and along a stepless surface-area of the second planar wall. A domestic refrigeration appliance having the container is also provided.
