My labels show weights in ounces, pounds and metric weight. Never thought about it much until reading your post.

I believe every state handles their own labeling laws but not positive on that one. I know here in Ohio I just to have 1 U.S. measurement with the corresponding metric measurement.

I believe in my state ounces/grams is sufficient. But as stated above the State you are in regulates that requirement.
