In addition to John's remarks, I see the website promotes wellness.  I also see 
they have featured chefs, yet their recipes are dumbed down to cups and 
spoons.  Here is a perfect opportunity for contact the chefs and ask them for 
recipes in metric to be included, using mass instead of volume..  If you see 
something you like, ask them if they can forward you a metric version of the 
recipe?

You can point out that wellness begins with using proper measurements and cups 
and spoons are not proper.  You might get a lot farther communicating with a 
person who actually uses metric internally then writing blindly and getting the 
company bimbo.

Pierre,

Since they sell a lot of meat, many of their products are likely exempt from 
FPLA.  Meat is regulated by USDA.

However, on their cheese, butter, organic snacks and other products, I think 
they should be subject to FPLA, and are non-compliant (unless they have some 
small business exemption).  In photos where I can read the label, they do not 
dual label (for example, a 12 oz. bottle of honey).

Some things are metric.  They sell 16.9 fl oz bottles of flavored water which 
are undoubtedly 500 mL in reality.  They also sell a 20 g white chocolate candy 
bar, marked ONLY in grams. :)
