According to Rowlett, the fluid ounce (US) is 29.573 531 mL and the fluid
ounce UK is 28.413 063 mL, a difference of difference of about 1 mL. .
If you divide 440 by 14.9 you get close to the US definition of the fluid
ounce. This declaration is obviously meant for the US market. If sold in
the UK or elsewhere, chances are no mention of ounces is made. If course
someone from the pro-imperial side will insist there is.

Subject: [USMA:34784] Tetley's Ale
Picked up a four-pack of Tetley's English Ale at the store yesterday
(picture attached). Noticed the volume is listed as:
14.9 FL. OZ. (440 mL)
Seems a bit odd size for either measurement.
