The smallest case pack on this shelf is 270 units.

The figure

Case packs run from 270 to 2,178 with a median of 410. So there is no small case on this shelf at all.

Which is the highest floor measured here

The pet food shelf starts at 8 and the gummies shelf at 12. This one starts at 270.

And it is not a full-case restriction

Only 8 of the 94 containers are flagged full case only, so most can be bought in smaller quantity. It is the case figure itself that is large.

Which matters for a preparedness use

Somebody packing a household cache needs tens of containers, not hundreds, and the case pack is a poor fit even where the container is right.

73 of 94 are flagged available

21 are not, measured as a snapshot on one day. 22 are quote only, so the price is not published on about a quarter of the shelf.

The containers themselves are well chosen for the use

61 of 94 are PET packer bottles, which is the standard tablet and capsule format. 54 of them are on a 38-400 neck.

And a quarter of the shelf is amber

25 amber plus 3 dark amber against 24 clear. For a medication stored long term, amber is the right choice and it is well stocked.

Capacity sits where a pill bottle sits

15 to 250 mL with a median of 150, and 16 containers at 150 mL alone. Nothing is a bulk format.

So the shelf is right and the quantity is wrong

Which is a different diagnosis from most properties here. The containers suit the leaves and the buying unit does not suit the buyer.

And the 38-400 neck is the one to standardize on

54 of the 94 containers carry it, which is well over half the shelf. Standardizing on one neck means one liner specification and one closure order.

Worth asking about a broken case

Because 86 of 94 are not flagged full case only, which suggests smaller quantities are possible on most of the shelf.

Written from 21 CFR 211.132 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That section reaches an over-the-counter human drug product packaged for retail sale and accessible to the public while held for sale; a kit assembled at home from bulk is not that, and nothing here asserts the section binds any particular activity. The only tamper-evident capability on this shelf is a liner, and we publish the liner type and not whether it carries a printed identifying characteristic, which is the attribute the distinctiveness requirement turns on.
