Does anyone know how NIST came up with their MAV tables for FDA products? We have a puff pastry product that we only sell to other manufacturers, and the net weight is 24lbs per package, and under the NIST table, the maximum we can deviate is 0.37lbs, which is only 1.5% of the total weight! This seems overly restrictive to me, because lower weight products AND products over 54.5lbs have a higher % weight deviation allowed. I mostly just wanted to rant about this but if anyone does have an explanation I would appreciate that as well :)
Best,
