IKEA shrunk its candy but still labels it as the larger size

It shows the price per 4oz, just make sure you pay for 3.53oz!
I don't think this is shrinkflation. 100g is a very, very common size for food products as here in Europe foods must have health charts (kcalories, sugars, etc) as both total for the package and per 100g. If the package is 100g it makes that easier and they only need 1 chart, good for smaller products.
This is just a European company selling the same product they sell elsewhere in a region that uses a very stupid measurement system.
They’re referring to the label on the shelf saying 4oz, which is ~113g. Seems to me like a mislabeling honestly.
I doubt it was ever 113g at any point. It's just bad rounding.
If it's actually underweight for what's stated on the packaging, the FDA and the FTC would like to have a word.
