I didn't say the label didn't describe a mass, I said that your blanket
statement:
"That box of Wheaties that is labelled 'Net Weight 10 oz' would
correctly weigh 10 oz everywhere on Earth, on the Moon, and on the ISS."
...is not correct, because the mass is only applicable in the local
environment at the shipping factory.

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
