摘要

Buyers want to be sure that whatever is printed on the packing is also inside and this also applies to convenience foods. Nobody wants to buy a 200g pack of Lyoner, then discover at home that the kitchen scale says it weighs only 170g. Thanks to the national legal for trade requirements (German abbreviation FPV), no one need worry whether the contents of a package are correct. Since the '80s, the ordinance has been providing strict directives about how far the actual contents can deviate from the amounts stated on the package.
