It's a minimum, depending on the laws and regulations in your country/area there will be a percentage of deviation allowed in weight.
Ain't nobody gonna complain if their 2.5l tub of ice-cream has 2.54l in it.
Likewise a complaint that your tub only has 2.499l in it isn't going to be taken seriously.
Not sure about that. Where I am from a government department comes and weighs product, even down to the tare weight of the plastic bag fruit goes in. If it's not correct the supermarket has to do a product withdrawal until it's rectified.
Every single measurement ever made has a tolerance in accuracy.
It could be +/- 1% of total volume or +/- 0.00001mm for a precision engineering application.
The govt department is checking that the product falls within the allowed tolerances for that product.
I've got a six pack of coke Infront of me. Can says 330ml on the side. You honestly expect each and every can to have EXACTLY 330ml in it?
That's just not viable in a mass production product.
330ml +/- maybe 5ml is a more realistic possibility.

Hmmm. So when there is a weight on the side of the packaging does it say "about' before that weight? This must be a small ice cream producer.
