Judging from the crazy metric quantity, 198.3 g,  I think that it was packed
in the USA. Just another attempt to make metric look stupid in comparison
with ifp. Why should the Germans do such a thing?
The Werther bags packed in Germany and sold  in Europe, including in the UK
or Ireland where the labels are in the English language, are always in even
decent 200 g or other rational metric values. The bags sold in Britain and
Ireland MAY have a supplementary 7 oz. indication, but I have not noticed
it. Those sold in the continent are metric-only.

BTW, Today I saw Uncle Ben's bags of rice, from the USA, in rational 5 kg
bags. Metric only.

 On my recent trip I saw Werther's toffees in "7 oz (198.3g)" packs. They
said the product was made in Germany, but it wasn't clear if it was packed
there (it had a US address).
