Thanks for the report and image. I note that there are three measures in
total. The metric plus two non-metric measures: '2 kg (70 OZ) 4.41 LB'

The FPLA permits them to have two non-metric measures. The stated reason
is that the ounce measure allows comparison with other packages in the
range. It is a demonstration of the complicated arithmetic required with
non-metric units.

Thus a metric-only label would serve two purposes:

1. It reduces clutter because only one declaration is used rather than
three.

2. It permits simple comparison across the product range.


Presumably both these reasons are why P&G support metric only.
