It was not metric-only, it was dual label:

NEW WT 53 OZ (3 LBS 4 OZ) 1.5 kg

Since this is entirely caps except the "kg" I would presume that someone
knew what they were doing.
Stop & Shop is a grocery-store chain, and no doubt this is manufactured
"under license," a common practice for larger chains. They will call, for
example, the Dole people, and say "We want 100 cases a week of grade B
pineapple slices with our 'XYZ Stores' label." Then Dole would can them,
label them, and XYZ would sell them as a store brand.
BTW, a friend mentioned that she recalls that Stop & Shop is now owned by
a Dutch company. Whether that has any connection to the 1.5 kg is anyone's
guess.
