Net Content / UOM
The amount of the trade item contained by a package as claimed on the label. Retailers use this value to create shelf price tags that match the package. It’s important that the value here matches the label claim exactly.
A six pack of yogurt, each pack contains 175 grams. Two Net Content / Net Content UOM entries are required. The first entry lists the total net content (175 grams * 6 = 1050 GRM); the second entry indicates the number of individual units.
NetContent 1: 1050 (UOM is) GRM
NetContent 2: 6 (UOM is) EA
For a multi-pack, specify the net content of the total trade item.
For variable quantity trade items, specify the average quantity.
Net Content can repeat by the unit of measure (UOM), but cannot repeat for the same UOM.
