I've definitely just placed a stalk of broccoli on the bottom shelf of my fridge with no container.
I would argue that the broccoli contains itself, or perhaps that the skin/surface of the broccoli is the container. (Though some people would argue that all vegetables in the fridge should at least be bagged, to prevent transfer of germs/grime.)
Does a bowl of hard-boiled eggs count as "contained"? It's not sealed.
Are they shelled?
Is the shell part of the food, or not? =)
