Why must a business state the net weight of the product on it's packaging?

[King Belieal]

I have seen that almost all kinds of businesses that sell products that are packaged always include the net weight of the products in the labelling.

Is it a regulatory requirement to do so? Is it applicable to all businesses?

The net weight is to know the weight of the product you are buying. And this weight comes with its prices. It is to inform the customer about the weight of the product

In some countries, it is legally required to state the net weight of their products, so that customers would know exactly what they are paying for.

It is not mandatory on some goods or products. But there some products that is mandatory that the producers must include the net weight like drugs and pharmaceutical products.

In all canned goods like beef loaf, meat loaf, milk, sugar, soy sauce, sardines and more, we see the weight of them and the contents are specified too.

The label on product packaging is a government regulation primarily aimed at protecting consumers, so the label must include information related to the product such as expiration date, net weight, etc.

Every time I shop I always check the expiry date. I already caught many and consulted the store supervisors. Even a cotton has its expiry date. I caught one cotton last week and reported it to the counter because it was expired in 2023. I told them to remove the expired products or to report them to the authorities.

In my country there is a business regulatory body that deals in that. The weighing and measuring of the products must match and comply with the government guidelines.

 

[King Belieal]

I think that it also shows transparency if a company states the weight on packaging. It shows that the company wants the customers to have sufficient information about the products.

There are some countries where it is a must for these products to carry their net weight. It is also a way to allow the customers know the quantity of the product they are buying.

it is the right thing to do . A good way to allow the customers know the quantity of the product they are buying.
