One common question we receive is why jars aren't filled all the way to the top. We understand this can be puzzling, especially when you're eager to start your fitness journey. Let's clear up the mystery!
The short of it
To sum it up, jars are not filled to the top to account for settling during shipping, to ensure accurate and consistent servings, to prevent spillage, and to comply with industry regulations. We hope this clears up any confusion and helps you feel confident in the quality and quantity of your protein powder.
1. Settling During Shipping
During shipping and handling, the powder can settle. This means that although the jar may have been filled to a certain level during manufacturing, the movement and vibration during transit cause the powder to compress. This natural settling can result in what looks like an under-filled jar. Rest assured, the weight of the protein powder stated on the label is accurate and consistent.
2. Consistency in Measurement
The size of the container is chosen to ensure that you always get the amount of product specified on the label. Larger jars help maintain a consistent serving size and make it easier to measure out your scoops accurately. If the jar were filled to the brim, it could cause spillage and make it difficult to get a precise measurement each time you scoop.
3. Prevention of Spillage
Having some extra space in the jar also helps prevent spillage when you first open it. Protein powder and supplements can be quite fine and can easily create a mess if the jar is too full. The extra room gives you a bit of breathing space, making it easier to open and use the product without wasting any.
4. Air as a Cushion
The space at the top of the jar acts as a cushion that protects the powder from getting compacted too much or damaged during transportation. This air cushion helps maintain the quality and consistency of the protein powder until it reaches you.
5. Regulatory Requirements
Finally, there are regulations and guidelines that manufacturers need to follow, which often dictate the minimum and maximum fill levels for various types of containers. This ensures safety, quality, and consistency across all products.
