meat trays

Supermarket protein packaging

Meat trays are shallow containers, typically styrofoam or plastic, used to package and display raw meat in grocery stores.

The term also refers to platters of sliced deli meats arranged for serving at gatherings: We ordered a meat tray for the party.

In Australian slang, meat trays are prizes in pub raffles—a working-class gambling tradition where winners take home packages of meat.
