I can't cite a specific law about dual labeling milk and other dairy products, however they are not dual labeled now. Milk comes under special state laws for farm products.

Are you sure about that? Can you cite a law?

I can't see an exception for milk in the FPLA, and sectio 1461 seems to be pretty clear that it supercedes state law, requiring less or different information..

I believe it must be dual labelled and could be sold in either a round Customary or metric quantity. Specifically, I believe a 4 L fill would be legal, but it would also have to be properly labeled in Customary.
