Packaged tomatoes can be a variety of different kinds of tomatoes. Some containers even have more than one type in a container. Also many grocery stores have specific types that are only available commercially. They can also be different tomatoes in different regions.
If you’re looking for what was in the container…you will likely need to contact the company that packages them.

Like they’ve said, growing seeds from store tomatoes isn’t usually worth it for two reasons: (1) they’re usually hybrids, which means the next generation won’t look the same, and (2) they’re bred for longevity rather than taste.
Luckily, tomato seeds are quite inexpensive and easy to find (both in-person and online), and you’ve found a whole community of people who would love to give variety recommendations if you’d like.

Probably some hybrid cherry tomato, but don’t be discouraged, although they are hybrids, they will still grow and produce, and there is a chance that you’ll get second generation (F2) of the same variety, or maybe some other tastier variety, or – lets hope not, some not so great variety. You’ll just have to wait and see, and if that tomatoes turn great, save the seeds for next year.

There are well over 12,000 tomato varieties known to the public and hundreds more developed every year for greenhouse production which you can’t even get unless you’re a large grower.
There are numerous cherry tomato varieties that I guarantee you will taste better than what’s in this clamshell.
