I just saw a story on Good Day New York on Fox 5 where a reporter went to the Entenmann’s plant in Bay Shore, L.I.  They were making crumb cakes and as the batter was being poured into the tins, the reporter said that it was 330 grams per pie.  Later, after the pies were completed and ready for packaging, the reporter asked the floor manager about the final weighing process and was told that they need to make sure that the net weight matches the label which the reporter than said was 453 grams.  She, of course stated some general terms in USC such as about 15000 lbs of crumbs are used, etc but when she did use metric, she did not do any conversion.  In terms of manufacture, the factory appears to be metric.  I guess I won’t feel guilty about those chocolate-covered doughnuts anymore.
