Yes, that would be preferred, but I suspect it is either habit of the label designer, or perhaps a misunderstanding of labeling law, rather than some underhanded attempt to help promote colloquial units.

If they didn't like metric, they wouldn't have made it an even 30 g.

This is a clever way to help FFU's.
It should be: NET WT. 30 g (1.06 OZ).

     *****The New Calendar Rhyme*****
Thirty days in July, September:
April, June, November, December;
All the rest have thirty-one; accepting February alone:
Which hath but twenty-nine, to be (in) fine;
Till leap year gives the whole week READY:
Is it not time to MODIFY or change to make it perennial, Oh Daddy!

And make the calendar work with Leap Week Rule!

Subject: [USMA:30419] metric candy bar

Picked up a Carb Solutions Chocolate Crisp candy bar the other day. When I got it home and I noticed the label:

NET WT. 1.06 OZ (30 g).

Clearly packaged as a 30 g candy bar, with a conversion to ounces.

Their web site shows all their candy bars as 30 g (or 60 g for protein bars). Other products are odd sizes. For example, one blueberry muffin from their mix is labeled:

Serving Size: 2 Tbsp. Mix (approx. 21g)
                    1 Muffin Prepared (56g)
