Goya Foods, from Secaucus, New Jersey, produces a wide variety of ethnic foods and ingredients. Up till now I have not seen any in hard-metric packages. I saw in the store last night two different Goya products that are now metric: several types of cooking oil in 250 mL and 500 mL bottles, and several spice packages in 40 g packages. They don't do metric very well (the spice label is "1.41 ozs - 40 grms"), but at least they are starting to do it. As an aside, the spice box has some of the most over-the-top marketing hype I've seen in a while: "Inside this box you'll find what good cooks have always dreamed of, an absolutely foolproof way to make everything taste not just good, or even great, but sensational--every time. It's Sazon Goya, a special mix of seasonings from Goya. A little magic in little foil packets." Ingredients: MSG, salt, garlic, cumin.
