fully Informative; both weight and volume are fully informative
				on their own, (2) there was no reason to require a weight declaration on normal
				retail-sized packages of cooking oil; to implement such a requirement would
				place an undue burden on manufacturers and packers, and (3) if a combination
				declaration is required, a manufacturer or packer must meet both declarations;
				again, to implement such a requirement would place an additional burden on
				manufacturers and packers.
Finally, the Committee considered requiring "'packaged cooking
				oils sold at retail" to be sold by volume. The
Committee rejected this idea because it did not believe that a
				manufacturer or packer would necessarily know, at the time of packaging the
				product, whether it would be destined for retail or institutional sale.
The Committee believes that the retail market for large
				quantities of cooking oil is relatively small and does not believe that most
				consumers will be doing cost comparisons between large containers of oil sold
				at a membership club by weight, and small packages of oil sold at a grocery
				store by volume. The Committee does not consider it appropriate to change an
				entire, established industry for the convenience of a very small number of
				specialized retail consumers. The Committee recommends that cooking oil
				manufacturers and packers include supplemental quantity declarations m liquid
				volume on any package of cooking oil that may end up in the retail marketplace.
				The Committee has withdrawn this item.
