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.
It was probably back-conversion. 200 grams converted (and rounded down) to 7 oz, then 7 oz back-converted to 198.3 g. Happens all the time ...
