It has been my experience that most recipies on the back of packages, regardless of 
the country of manufacture, have had dual units for all. Usually the only mass/volume 
on the package is in metric units.

1 cup (250 ml)
1 Tbsp (15 ml)
1 tsp (5 ml)
350�F (175�C)
1 pkg.
9 x 13 pan (3.5 L pan) or (22 x 33 cm pan) 

Often I see the metric first and the Imperial/American in brackets. I have always 
suspected a separate Canadian bag was made up since we also require dual language 
labels: English and French.

I think this is new. Bag of Ocean Spray cranberries, regular markings:

NET WT. 12 OZS.
(340 g)
Product of USA

ON THE BACK, however, the recipes are given in colonial units, with
parenthetical metric. So, for Whole Cranberry Sauce,

1 cup (200 g) sugar
1 cup (255 ml) water
1 package (12 oz.) OCEAN SPRAY(c) Fresh or Frozen Cranberries

For the Cranberry Fruit Nut Bread, the dry is in cups (grams), the wet
is in cups (milliliters), and the oven temperatures are in F (C). Salt,
baking soda, and the like are in teaspoons only, and the pan is
described as 9"x5"x3" (to be expected).

I think that this is pretty remarkable. In my experience, for most
products, even when the packaging is intended for USA/CAN/MEX, the rest
of the package isn't dual marked.
