A reclosable food container comprising:

• a body for storing a food product, the body having a side wall extending between a closed bottom end and a top end including an access opening;
• and
• a lid including a collar surrounding the body, the collar having a plurality of panels extending therefrom, the collar being movable relative to the body in a direction between a first position wherein the panels overlie and restrict access to the opening and a second position, the second position being closer to the bottom end of the body than the first position, wherein the panels permit access to the opening, the panels being configured to shift in an outwardly direction during contact with the top end of the body during movement of the collar from the first position toward the second position, wherein the panels are not in contact with the top end of the body when the collar is in the first position.
