Do crisp packets not have to have the weight of contents listed?, i have just bought a multipack of Quavers and there is no weight listed either on the main packet or the packs inside. Anyway i weighed one on digital scales and they are 16g.

16g seems measly for a pack of crisps, 25g is the average for crisps in a multipack.

I think I'm correct in saying that any product that weighs less than 25g doesn't have to display the weight.

I noticed this before and instantly knew the value was deceptive because we think the weight is around 30g or so per pack.

All economical shoppers should get familiar with product weights and price per weight.
