I bought 175 g pack of salami which had 162 g of salami as well.
The weight is never exact, buy a few packages and see if the are within a standard deviation of the listed weight.
confused by this.
to calculate a standard deviation OP would have to buy a few packets anyways.
if you maybe wanna buy 100 to find what the standard deviation is, by definition, only 68% of them will be within a standard deviation (assuming the weights are normally distributed)
Usually foods are regulated that the standard deviation falls within some range of grams. Sorry if I was unclear.
Sine when is pasta not 500g?
Shrinkflation, theft, consumer fraud
They’re literally skimming money out of people by doing that.
Since 1877
In the US they are usually sold in pounds, so 450g/ea or so.
You gota report that to the consumer goods or something like. They can get fined very big deneros for selling under weight goods. Like it’s a realy big deal.
