La. Admin. Code tit. 49, § I-231 - Variations Permitted-Quantity of Contents [Formerly 49:2.0150]
A. Where the
statement does not express the minimum quantity variations shall be permitted:
1. when caused by ordinary and customary
exposure, after the food is introduced into commerce, to conditions which
normally occur in good distribution practice and which unavoidably result in
change of weight or measure.
2.
when caused by unavoidable deviations in weighing, measuring or counting
individual packages which occur in good packing practice. But variations shall
not be permitted to such an extent that the average of the quantities in the
packages comprising a shipment or other delivery of the food is below the
quantity stated, and no unreasonable shortage in any package shall be
permitted, even though averages in other packages in the same shipment of
delivery compensate for such shortage.
