Abstract
The invention provides a cap for a container for storing condiments for human consumption. The cap comprises a member having a top portion with a peripheral wall that has means for retaining the cap onto the container extending downwardly for covering the mouth of the container, the top portion having dispensing openings for allowing passage of the condiments. The cap comprises a seal having a top portion comprising a central portion, a flange portion extending around the central portion for overlapping the dispensing openings of the member and a central peripheral wall extending downwardly from the top portion and having a lower end mountable to the member. In use, the seal is moveable between a closed position, wherein the flange portion covers the dispensing openings for preventing passage of the condiments outwards from the interior of the container, and an open position, wherein the flange portion and the flange portion frees the dispensing openings for allowing passage of the condiments outwards from the interior of the container.
