I think the law applies to the package, but not to advertising. If the package isn't dual, I think they are in violation (if they are in the US and sell in the US). However, they can probably maintain that the website is an advertisement. Since you can't see the package when you buy, it could also be argued that this is a loophole that should be closed.

I got the following reply: "We have no interest in confusing folks with a mix of metric and English pounds." Should the FPLA be amended to apply to online food sellers? Or does a different law apply?
