I've bought some cherry tomatoes that came in a package marked "one dry pint", 
with no metric equivalent. (I've also seen some packages with an equivalent 
in milliliters.) I sent an email pointing out that labeling a grocery 
only "one dry pint" is illegal and asking that they be labeled in grams (I 
weigh tomatoes when making a recipe).

I just brought up the FPLA and there is no mention of a dry pint anywhere. 
There's no mention of a liter either. The regulations mention dry pints, but 
is it legal to sell tomatoes by volume? I think they're too big to be 
accurately measured by volume and should be sold by mass.
