I think if they are prepacked, and not weighed at point of sale, they have
to list both customary and metric units.

Subject: [USMA:46118] Trader Joe's tomatoes
Today I went to Trader Joe's and got some tomatoes, bananas, and other
stuff.
I saw four kinds of tomatoes on a shelf in three different kinds of
packages.
Two of them were labeled 454 g (though they're usually closer to 500), one
was labeled 1 dry pint, and I don't remember about the Romas. So I asked
someone who works there: "How many grams are in a dry pint?" She didn't
know
and asked someone else, who didn't know either. I explained about the
tomatoes and suggested that they list the price per gram of both of them.
He
seemed to think that would be a good idea.
