A holder for a squeeze pouch containing food or beverages is described. The holder may have a one-piece construction, or the holder may include both a housing and a detachable top wall or lid. The top wall or lid of the holder includes a slot adapted to receive and secure the spout of a squeeze pouch. The housing protects the flexible portion of the squeeze pouch from pressure that could cause food or beverages to exit the spout of the squeeze pouch.
