The National Conference on Weights and Measures (NCWM) which establishes and enforces uniform weights and measures regulations voted to remove current container restrictions on fluid milk products cultured products and frozen desserts. These products can now be sold in any container size provided the product is appropriately labeled. The change in regulations does not apply to frozen novelties cheese and cheese products.
