Olive oil is almost always sold in metric sizes here, even from domestic producers. All other vegetable oils are generally sold in round Customary sizes, or just plain odd sizes. Under unit pricing, the merchant has a choice of what units to use, but it is supposed to be the same for all "like product." The law leaves an exact definition of "like product" to the imagination, but certainly all olive oil, maybe all vegetable oil, in my view. So the merchannt is non-compliant.

I saw a round liter can of oil, which I'm not used to seeing. The unit price on the shelf is in dollars per liter. Below it was a half-liter bottle, with the unit price in dollars per ounce. Huh?
