Ezra, Consumer Commodities under *state only* (not federal) jurisdiction may be labeled in NY in metric-only units of measurement. Consumer Commodities under federal (FPLA) jurisdiction must still be labeled in dual (SI and US Customary) Units of measurement. Jurisdictions, state only, or federal (e.g.FTC, FDA, USDA, EPA, etc.) are specified in NIST Handbook 130; downloadable free of charge. Amendment of the FPLA is still needed so that *all* consumer commodities may be labeled in metric-only units of measurement!
