If a product is dual metric and imperial, which numbers are the rounded and
which are not?
It goes both "weighs" ;-)
you can get 454g 1lb or 1kg 2.2lb (I know a non-tesco brand of chips [fries]
that label this way)
Milk tends to go to to 3 decimal metric places after the "1 pint" and "2
pint" labels
If I preferred imperial over metric, would I be satisfied if the imperial
sizes shown were not in a usable form?
To be honest that may be true of loose food - eg, if I really wanted a lb of
ham.
But in packed food is it that relevent? If you wanted 6 oz of bacon for
your recipe would you remove 2.25 oz from an 8.25oz pack?
Labelling a product as 250 g (8.85 ounces) would be a smack in the face to
me if I preferred imperial sizing. To those who claim that dual labelling
gives them a choice, do they still feel they have a choice in the imperial
sizes are not in a traditional imperial format? Where does one draw the
line?
On loose fair enough.
But on prepacked - why would you need to be so scientific?
If I see 454g or 8.25 oz I really don't get worked up.
