Testing weight of frozen seafood

The MFMA advises members to check that frozen seafood products are not being short-weighted. The testing approach used for this is set out in the National Measurement Institute’s Sampling and Test Procedures for Prepackaged Products, 7.9 Frozen Fish Method

In NSW, the method for determining the new weight of frozen seafood is also set out in the Trade Measurement Regulation 2007, Division 9 Miscellaneous provisions regarding pre-packed articles.
