[USMA:30453] U S dairy

[john mercer]

Hello does anyone have any idea what the US dairy industry will do when the FPLA will allow metric only labeling? Do you think they will do a hard metric conversion lets say from one gallon to 4 L, or do a soft conversion to 3.8 L?  When the dairy industry in Canada went metric they did a hard conversion from 1gal. to 4 L.  They had to change the size of the container because 4 L is smaller then the imperial gallon.  Are there any more states getting close to allowing metric labeling on products controled at the state level? Does anybody know if Washington state   allows metric labeling?  In states that allow metric only labeling can products like bags of potatoes be labeled in metric only?  Thanks for any info.
