The presently disclosed subject matter is directed to a compartmented marinade package (10) comprising a food product, such as a cut of meat, loaded into a first compartment (25) and a frozen food additive loaded into a second compartment (30). The package (10) includes a rupturable seal (40) separating the two compartments to allow the mixing and marinating of the food product and food additive when desired by a user. The user squeezes the desired storage chamber and the pressure applied thereto causes the rupturable seal (40) to break, allowing intermixing between the compartments. L'objet de l'invention est un réceptacle compartimenté (10) pour marinade comprenant un produit alimentaire, tel qu'une tranche de viande, placée dans un premier compartiment (25), et un additif alimentaire congelé placé dans un second compartiment (30). Le réceptacle (10) comprend un joint frangible séparant les deux compartiments pour permettre le mélange et la formation d'une marinade entre le produit alimentaire et l'additif alimentaire, si désiré, par un utilisateur. L'utilisateur presse le compartiment désiré et la pression exercée sur ce dernier fait rompre le joint frangible (40), ce qui permet aux contenus des compartiments de se mélanger entre eux.
