ABSTRACT:
A packaged food product includes a rigid food product bar which has a width, a height and a length extending between end edges of the bar and a package provided by a hand-tearable product packaging material enclosing the bar having a notch positioned therein. The notch is a single linear slit positioned adjacent and parallel to an end edge of the enclosed bar and the notch has a length less than the width of the enclosed bar. The notch is covered on an interior surface of the packaging material by a cover material which liquefies when heated to a temperature compatible with the packaging material, which is adhesive enough to remain on the notch, but which is weak enough to break when the package is bent by leveraging the product contained in the package against the packaging material interior adjacent the covered notch.
