Shemirat Shabbat Kehilchata (9 fnt. 76, 10 fnt. 44) explains that food in a container isn't muktzeh even if opened in a forbidden way since the container is only an obstacle (Rashba, Ran Beitzah 31b, Magen Avraham 518:14) and also there are permitted ways to open it. </ref> | ||
# The food in the container isn’t muktzeh even if you hold that it is forbidden to open but if it was somehow opened the food is permitted.<ref>Orchot Shabbat v. 2 p. 196 quotes the Chazon Ish that food inside a container that you hold is forbidden to open is muktzeh. Orchot Shabbat disagrees since there are permitted ways to access the food even according to the Chazon Ish such as making the container unusable. Ran Beitzah 17b and Rashba Beitzah 31b clearly write that any inaccessible food which itself is edible and permitted aren’t muktzeh even if accessing them is forbidden.</ref> | # The food in the container isn’t muktzeh even if you hold that it is forbidden to open but if it was somehow opened the food is permitted.<ref>Orchot Shabbat v. 2 p. 196 quotes the Chazon Ish that food inside a container that you hold is forbidden to open is muktzeh.
