60 mL and about 30. Two liquids, two lines.

Syrup, 30 mL for all syrups

So 200 percent is 60 mL. Of our 97 containers, 22 sit under it, 2 sit in the 60 to 90 mL dual-column band, and 73 sit above.

And 17 of those 22 are one size

59 mL, the 2 oz bottle. Which is a single millilitre under the threshold and is the most common small size on this shelf.

Honey, 1 tbsp

200 percent is 2 tbsp, around 30 mL. We hold 3 containers at 30 mL and nothing smaller, so almost everything here is multi-serving for an infused honey.

Two liquids, a factor of two apart

Which is the point of reading the table rather than assuming. A syrup and a honey look like the same packaging problem and sit in different bands at the same volume.

Honey wants a wide mouth anyway

And this shelf is 78 jars against 6 bottles, so the format is there. A crystallized honey has to come out of the container, which a 2 oz bottle does badly.

Syrup wants a pour and a clean cut off

Our closure count is 164 continuous thread polypropylene lids and 39 metal CT caps, with no dispensing closures to speak of in this group. For a syrup that is a plain lid and a measuring step.

Glass or PP, and the shelf has both

31 glass against 66 PP. For a sticky liquid that gets wiped, glass cleans better and PP survives being dropped.

Light matters for both

The archetype flags this group light sensitive, and the shelf carries 8 amber and 4 frosted containers against 19 clear. Clear is the most common single color after white and natural.

Which is a mismatch worth naming

A light-sensitive product on a shelf whose third most common color is clear. Amber and frosted exist here but they are 12 of 97.

The band is a choice and the color is a constraint

Pick the band deliberately, then pick from the 12 containers that actually protect the contents, rather than the other way round.

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.
