Sounds like something that started out as 400 mL, got converted to Ye Olde
English Units, then back-converted from that to metric.

Just for laughs, here is today's oddball measurement:

Thai Kitchen Lite Coconut Milk, "net 13.66 FL.OZ. 403 mL".  Not 400?  Comes
in a standard size soup can, filled to the brim.
