I bought 175 g pack of salami which had 162 g of salami as well.

    yeah. 8g is a tiny weight difference here and could easily be accounted-for due to humidity with pasta. it’s about the weight of 3-4 strands of that pasta

      Could also just be losing a strand or two in packaging. It happens. That’s why they’re allowed some wiggle room on the packaging weight, and 8 grams is a pretty reasonable margin of error for a product like this.

      Shrinkflation is definitely a thing, but this isn’t a good example.

        The same package in Germany is 500g, so maybe there is an element of shrinkflation as well.

        It’s also why the target is 410 was of 400 I’d imagine .

      Idk about that. When I worked in a factory we always measured 510 g into our 500 g packages in order to avoid this happening. You’re getting ripped off and making excuses for it.
