As I wrote in a response to Mike's post, the ounces and pounds have to be stated twice as the fact is no-one knows the ounce pound relations, so it has to be constantly displayed.
As you will also notice, the FFU is nothing but useless chatter. It does nothing but clutter the label. Metric only labels look concise, coherent and neat.

More evidence that many companies will respond to an amended FPLA by quickly labeling their products in metric only. It'll be interesting to see how the bandwagon effect operates at that point (both here and in Canada).

I was pleasantly surprised to see the container of Reser's Parfait I bought the other day comes in a hard metric size. Especially since I had written to them asking them to do so a while back. I'm enclosing a picture for all your viewing pleasure. It still has those nasty USC measures on there but at least it's a nice 1.25kg. Now to go buy some of that potato salad and see if it's the same way :).
