The present invention relates to a food storage container. The food storage container according to the disclosed present invention comprises: a body unit in which a storage space in which food is stored is provided; a control unit provided inside the body unit adjacent to the storage space to control a temperature of the food and change a volume according to the temperature; and an elastic unit provided between the storage space inside the body unit and the control unit and elastically deformed in association with the volume change of the control unit. According to the configuration, since damage to the body unit can be prevented even when the volume inside the control unit changes, durability can be maintained even with external environment changes or long-term use. 개시된 본 발명에 의한 식품용 보관용기는, 식품이 보관되는 보관 공간이 내부에 마련되는 몸체부, 보관 공간과 이웃하게 몸체부 내부에 마련되어 식품의 온도를 조절하며 온도에 따라 부피가 가변되는 조절부 및, 몸체부 내부의 보관 공간과 조절부 사이에 마련되어 조절부의 부피 변화에 연동하여 탄성 변형되는 탄성부를 포함한다. 이러한 구성에 의하면, 조절부 내부의 부피 변화에도 몸체부의 파손을 방지할 수 있어 외부 환경 변화나 장기간 사용에도 내구성을 유지할 수 있다.
