720 mL is the line and our largest is 473. There is no second option here.

The reference amount is 360 mL

Carbonated and noncarbonated beverages, wine coolers and water. So 200 percent is 720 mL.

And our largest container is 473

13 containers at 473 mL, which is the top of this shelf. Nothing here reaches 720.

So the band is decided before you choose

Every one of the 97 containers in this group is a single-serving container for a beverage, and the entire content must be labeled as one serving.

Which is the cleanest measured claim in this property

Not a judgment and not an estimate. A ceiling from the table against a maximum from the catalog.

For a dosed beverage that may be exactly right

A single-serve bottle that declares the whole contents as one serving is a coherent product. The rule and the format agree.

And if you wanted a multi-serve bottle

You would need something over 720 mL, which means a different shelf. The beverages property covers larger formats and this group does not.

The shelf is also not really a beverage shelf

78 of 97 containers are jars, against 6 bottles. A cannabis beverage in a wide mouth jar is possible and it is not what most of this shelf is for.

Carbonation is the other thing missing

Nothing in this group is a pressure-rated format. A carbonated beverage needs a closure and a container built for it, and a continuous thread lid on a jar is not that.

So the honest reading is still-beverage only

A still infused drink in a 473 mL jar or a 355 mL bottle, which are the two sizes here that make sense for it.

Pressure is the reason to leave this shelf

A carbonated drink needs a container rated for internal pressure and a closure that retains it, and neither exists in this group. Reaching for a jar because the volume suits is how a batch ends up on the floor.

Still drinks have their own enemy

Oxygen and light rather than pressure. 8 amber and 4 frosted containers here against 19 clear, on a shelf the archetype flags as light sensitive, which is a narrow protective set for a drink meant to keep.

And the closure is a plain lid

There is no tamper-evident beverage closure in this group. 9 sealing discs are the only thing here that makes a container read as unopened, and they have to be specified by name.

And the label question is already answered

Which is unusual. For every other leaf in this group the band is a decision; for a beverage the shelf has made it.

Written from 21 CFR 101.9 and 101.12 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. The serving-size rules quoted here are the federal food-labeling rules; dose caps, potency labeling, child-resistant packaging and exit packaging for a licensed cannabis edible are set state by state and nothing here describes them. Four of the reference amounts that matter on this shelf are expressed in grams and our capacity field is in millilitres, so for gummies, chocolate and baked goods our data cannot tell you which band a jar falls in.
