Bob,
Heck no water isn't included in the net wet unless you are selling water.
Who is this asking? A product must have an accurate statement of net
contents in terms of weight or fluid ounces. If the product is Shrimp, Net
Wt 8 oz, then you must have 8 ounces of shrimp in the package. This does not
prohibit adding an ice glaze if one is desired to maintain freshness on long
term storage. You still have to have the declared weight of product and the
ice does not count as shrimp. We regrettably have had several companies who
have made that contention on whom we have taken regulatory action.
Have a great morning.
Martha
