What is odd about that, Martin, is the US label uses the US spelling, liter.
They made a special but wrong label for the UK.

div.yiv4731214563WordSection1 {}#yiv4731214563 I checked their website. It
complies with UK law. However the product label in the website:
http://www.costco.co.uk/view/product/uk_catalog/cos_6,cos_6.3,cos_6.3.1/131511
does not - it is illegal to display US gallons, quarts and pints on any goods
that are sold in the UK – if gallons, quarts ort pints are used as a
supplementary unit, they MUST be imperial units. It is of course possible that
the Costco site detects where you are living and chooses its text accordingly.
I live in the UK. Martin

Hi Michael, Thank you for your email. Each 18oz steak is approximately
510g and so the total weight of this pack is 2.04kg.
Kind regards, MaureenCustomer Care Team (UK) On 20 March 2015 at 15:31,

We use grams in the UK, what is the mass of this item in grams?
