Abstract (en)
A metal beverage can for a food product is described, especially for a carbonated drink, including a body (1,101) and a can end (2,102). The can end includes: - a cap top (3,103), arranged in connection to a pull tab (4,104) configured to remove the cap top along a pre-defined groove (9,109), to thereby create a drinking or pouring aperture, the cap top including a raised lip-contact portion (7,107) on its upper surface; - a resiliently operated shut-off valve (6,106) configured to open the drinking or pouring aperture under pressure during drinking or pouring and to seal off the drinking or pouring opening after drinking or pouring. The cap top is configured to remain located, after the removal, on top of the shut-off valve (6,106), and the shut-off valve includes a relief valve (8,108), actuatable by interaction with the cap top (3,103) and configured to release gas pressure from inside the can, upon the first contact pressure, e.g. exerted by the drinker's lips.
