The real crime here is that you bought Barilla instead of DeCecco.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago

De Cecco, Garofalo, or Voiello.

If you have to get Barilla, at least get their fancier one (Al Bronzo or at least Collezione).

When did shrinkflation become acceptable for pasta? Even though it‘s been legal for a while to sell more individual package sizes, I would never accept a package of pasta that doesn‘t say 500g or more on it.

That brings up a question, is that 410g required to be just the edible product or could it include the weight of the packaging?

It is required to be the contents. There is very little leeway for error. The FDA can and will shut your whole company down for labeling issues.

There's an allowed margin of error, too. If they happen to have gram-level precision, but have 10g leeway for a given product, this might be a good way to save scrape out a bit more margin.

That would be easy to prevent though with an additional requirement: The average weight over N products must be within X% of the specified weight. This way the producer cannot intentionally underfill.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

I was thinking that. Good solution. I'm not sure what would prevent them from lying though. The only way to know would be to unpack a whole batch of their products.
