The unit was treated as a choice
On this page13
The term was chosen for presentation
It is determined by the food: fluid measure for a liquid, weight for a solid, semisolid or viscous food.
So a solid was declared by volume
Which the section does not permit. A dry good is declared by weight, in avoirdupois pound and ounce.
Numerical count was overlooked
It is one of the four permitted terms and the one that suits a countable dry good, alone or combined with weight or measure.
The dry measure exception was over-read
It is permitted for a fresh produce item customarily sold that way, which is a narrow custom-based exception rather than a general option for dry goods.
And the whole section was assumed to apply
It reaches a food in package form, meaning a package for sale. A household filling a canister is outside it entirely.
Which is the finding for this group
Ten leaves, all household storage, and a labeling rule that mostly does not reach the reader. Stated on the first page rather than discovered.
Our capacity field was used as a weight
It is a volume in millilitres. The specialty supplements property sets out that gap and the one measurement that closes it.
The gallon was assumed to be a round metric figure
It is defined in the section as 231 cubic inches, which is 3,785 mL. Which is why gallon-sized containers are an awkward metric number everywhere in this catalog.
And the temperature provision was skipped
A fluid measure volume is expressed at 68 degrees F for most foods, 40 for a refrigerated one and at the frozen temperature for a frozen one.
Which does not reach a dry solid
Because weight does not change with temperature. The provision follows the fluid measure branch and is quoted here as the most surprising sentence in the section.
And state law was assumed to be covered
Weights and measures inspection at retail is a state function and is what actually checks a declared quantity.
Read the section if you start selling
And until then, read the mouth width.
