Showing a unit price on the label is a requirement of US law.
- pixl97 9mo agoWhich unit is the fun game that gets played. I've seen way to many products right beside each other that use different measurements.
- lotsofpulp 9mo agoMost people will have devices that can easily convert measurements to the desired unit.
- Twistyfiasco 9mo agoOh fun, now I can invest even more time and energy into grocery shopping.
- Timon3 9mo agoThat same device can also calculate the unit price (since you know price & weight), so why even print it, right?
- WillPostForFood 9mo agoThere is no federal law requiring unit requiring unit pricing, but the the NIST has guidelines that most grocery stores follow voluntarily. 9 states have adopted the guidelines as law. https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/2023/02/09/2023%20NIST%20HB130%20C.%20Uniform%20Unit%20Pricing%20Regulation.pdf https://www.nist.gov/system/files/documents/2023/02/09/2023%...
- Gormo 9mo agoI don't think that's correct. Prices for retail goods aren't usually even attached to the product in interstate commerce, and are shown locally on store shelving. Any applicable unit pricing requirements would be at the state/local level, not federal, but only a few states have such requirements.
