**__Fair Packaging and Labelling Act (FPLA)__**
• The FPLA is a law that only applies to labels on many consumer products that states the product’s identity, the company that manufactured it, and the net quantity of contents. • The labelling of packaged products are based on the consumers. There are two classifications of products. One being “consumer” packages (e.g. sales in retail), and the other being “non-consumer” packages (e.g. sale in whole sale trade) which doesn’t apply to all packaged goods.

• The FPLA changed in 1992 for metric (SI) units to be displayed on packages for consumers to be more familiar with metric units so that they could learn to consider similar quantities to the metric units of measure.
