<x-tad-smaller>The label says "NET WT"
</x-tad-smaller>
Philip is RIGHT! The label (on the can of KaMe coconut milk) says:
NET WT 14 Fl Oz (400 mL)
How absurd that is!
The weight cannot be measured in "fluid ounces (Fl Oz)" because fluid ounces measures volume not weight.
Could it be that they mean "NET WT 14 Oz" where Oz without the qualifier "fluid" would show that it is the weight ounce not the volume ounce they are referring to. Is a weight of 14 ounces reasonable for the contents of the can? I don't know the density of coconut milk and I am not sure what the volume of the product in the can is. (It's probably 400 mL but they've screwed up their label measurements so badly that I don't know if I would trust the 400 mL to be correct.)
But if they DO mean ounces of weight (Oz, not Fl Oz), then it is still all wrong because of the 400 mL reference. Millilitres (mL) certainly are not units of weight, they are units of volume.
What a mess they made of their labeling. I wonder if ANY of it is even LEGAL.
(Everywhere that "weight" is used above the proper term would be "mass". I have not attempted to correct that common (even sanctioned) error since it is not relevant to my main point here.)
