 +===== Alternatives & Other considerations =====
 +
 +If it is not possible to find a product that satisfies all the criteria we would also like to consider using donated recycled jars for this project these would satisfy the following criteria:
 +
 +  * can easily hold a minimum of 100 grams of weight
 +  * made in accordance to food safety standards
 +  * able to be sealed
 +  * re-usable
 +
 +Another alternative would be to let people bring their own containers to refill.
