PETALING JAYA: The weight of fresh produce packaged for sale in grocery stores must state its net weight on the label, says the Domestic Trade and Cost of Living Ministry’s Enforcement Division following recent checks on grocers.
Its enforcement director-general Datuk Azman Adam said the tare weight, or the weight of packaging such as plastic trays, cling wraps and absorbent pads, should not be included in the net weight.
