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.
