They may be only for the US internal market. Many items are dual labeled mostly on the east and west coasts as a courtesy to the Spanish speaking. Even the ATMs are dual language. I remember that when I was in Mexico some 6 years ago I never saw a trace of ifp. Now, I may be wrong since at that time I wasn't too sensitive to the subject as I was living in Canada and couldn't care less about the USCUs. There may be people on the list that have more up-to-date info on the labeling rules in Mexico.

Yet how often do we see NAFTA packaging with "inches" or "pounds" written in Spanish? greg ______________________________________________ FREE Personalized Email at Mail.com Sign up at http://www.mail.com/?sr=signup
