DESCRIZIONE
A fluid absorbent structure adapted to absorb fluids oozing from foodstuffs on its contacting surface with the foodstuffs even when the fluid absorbent structure is in a slanted position against the container bottom. A drip sheet 1 includes an upper sheet 2, a lower sheet 3 and an absorbent sheet 4 interleaved between these upper and lower sheets 2, 3. The upper sheet 2 includes a perforated region 22 and non-perforated region 23. The non-perforated region 23 is formed with a display element 6 which is visually recognized from an upper surface of the upper sheet 2. The upper sheet 2 is formed with grooves 7 which are depressed from the upper surface of the upper sheet 2 toward a lower surface facing the absorbent sheet 4 and at least partially overlaps with the perforations 21. The grooves 7 include a first segment 71 extending along a longitudinal imaginary center line P-P, and second and third segment 72, 73 intersecting the first segment 71. The lower sheet 3 is formed with a plurality of perforations 31 which are breathable and liquid-permeable. [Image Omitted]
