Weigh some things you know the exact weight of like 1L of water or your phone (you can google most phones weights, without the case and only if you dont have a screen protector of course). I had the same issue at home but realized my scale was jus off most of the time.

This is why in the EU they need to display net weight.

That brings up a question, is that 410g required to be just the edible product or could it include the weight of the packaging?

[–] [email protected] 15 points 10 months ago (1 children)

There's an allowed margin of error, too. If they happen to have gram-level precision, but have 10g leeway for a given product, this might be a good way to save scrape out a bit more margin.

That would be easy to prevent though with an additional requirement: The average weight over N products must be within X% of the specified weight. This way the producer cannot intentionally underfill.

Net Weight vs Gross Weight

[–] [email protected] 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Aren't the figures on the package meant to be net weight though?

I was kinda confused why everyone's sucking the D of the corps here, and comments reiterating stuff already said.

But then I reminded myself at least 150 up voted this and all is right again.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 10 months ago

I don't think it is counts as D sucking of big corp if someone corrects invalid information. There are plenty of bad things corps do, we don't have to fabricate false claims, it's dangerous.

So if moisture is a factor, what do you propose otherwise?

Packaging machines are getting more accurate, but producers just use that to stretch the legal limits instead of improving their honesty.

When did shrinkflation become acceptable for pasta? Even though it‘s been legal for a while to sell more individual package sizes, I would never accept a package of pasta that doesn‘t say 500g or more on it.
