I contacted them about it several months ago with their web form and received no reply. It appears that they're tricking their customers. The container says 24 ounces but not "net weight", just 24 ounces. It seems they're deciving customers into thinking they're getting 24 ounces of cottage cheese, when the container is 2 ounces and you're really paying for that!so it actually doesn't weigh or contain 24 ounces?------------------------As has been clarified in other posts, cottage cheese is measured byweight, not volume. So the poster got 24 ounces by weight, just ashe's supposed to.For example, If I weigh out a 24 ounce block of lead on a scale, andthen place the block into a measuring cup, it probably wouldn't evencome up to the 3 ounce mark.That's why professional chefs and bakers are very particular aboutusing the correct measuring method.(Remove mypants to reply by email)
