Usage

A standard term found on virtually all food and beverage product labels in Japan. Required by the Measurement Act (計量法(けいりょうほう)). When companies reduce the amount of product while keeping the price the same (a practice called shrinkflation), consumers often check the 内容量(ないようりょう) to notice the change.
