The invention relates to a closure assembly (1) for a beverage container (2), at least comprising:—a lid element (3) having an opening (4); and—a closure element (5) for repeatably closing the opening (4), the closure element being disposed on the lid element (3); wherein the lid element (3) has an outside (6) and an inside (7), and the opening (4) has an opening edge (8) and an opening plane (9) formed by the opening edge (8); wherein the closure element (5) has at least a base part (10), a tab (11) and a lever element (12); wherein the base part (10) comprises a frame part (13), which is disposed on the opening edge (8) and has a window (14), and a flap (15), which is pivotably connected to the frame part (13) in order to close the window (14) and thus the opening (4); wherein the tab (11) is pivotably connected to the frame part (13) by means of a first axis of rotation (16); and wherein the lever element (12) is connected to the tab (11) by means of a second axis of rotation (17) and to the flap (15) by means of a third axis of rotation (18). The invention also relates to a method for repeatably closing an opening (4) of a beverage container (2) by means of a closure assembly (1).

A resealable easy open lid that is composed of a lid and a pull ring riveted on the lid; the rear end of the pull ring is composed of an outer ring body and an inner tongue of the pull ring; the tongue is provided with an arched deformation area along the edge; the arched deformation area is an edge inclined to the inner side of the lid which is formed by die stamping on the tongue of the pull ring; the tongue is provided with a part arching to the outside of the lid; after the pull ring is rotated around the riveting point, the tongue of the pull ring covers the opening zone, and when the middle part of the tongue is pressed, the arched deformation area can be overturned and deformed to make it contact with the edge of the opening area to seal the area.

The invention comprises a method and apparatus for amending a food product, comprising the steps of: (1) forming a nootropic emulsion comprising a nootropic, an emulsifier, and water, the nootropic including at least one of: Psilocybe, Cubensis; and Panaeolus (Copelandia); (2) subjecting the nootropic emulsion to shear forces exceeding 50,000 sec.sup.−1 in a high pressure emulsifier; and (3) amending the food product with the nootropic emulsion to form a nootropic amended food product with the optional step of receiving the food product from a first state of the United States of America where at least one nootropic component and/or tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in the nootropic emulsion is illegal in food, the step of amending adding the nootropic and/or the THC to the food product being legal in a second state where the at least one nootropic component and/or the THC is added to the food product.

A can lid (14) for an aluminum beverage can is disclosed and has a pull tab (38), a chuck wall (26) defining a plug diameter B, a countersink (28) and a central panel (30) having a panel radius (48). On the central panel, a score line (34) defining a tear panel (32) and a rivet (40) for connecting the pull-tab to the can lid are arranged. The lid has a lid plug diameter of between 45 to 49 mm, an outside diameter of between 52 to 55 mm, and a weight of less than 1.9 g. The central panel has a thickness of less than 0.19 mm. The rivet is arranged off-center on the central panel. The rivet is tilted, so that the rivet provides an axis of rotation of the pull tap that has an angle of between 2° and 4° with respect to an axis that is vertically orientated with respect to the central panel, and/or at least one ramp-up bead (56) is arranged on either side of pull tab or on both sides of the pull tab.
