try another scale, it could be that the Edeka scale is not calibrated correctly.
No, that’s not acceptable. Grab one that has the correct weight.
You should Tell them: „Anzeige ist raus!“
WTF… from now on I will take a portable scale with me and weight every shit. Chips, cheese, bread, chocolate, etc. Vertrauen ist gut Kontrolle ist besser 😂
No, I’m not sure about the exact amount, you’re allowed to differ, but more than 10% is far from it. Should be in 0-5% range (guessed).
Mushrooms contain water. When they were packed, they weighed 400g. The longer they are lying around, either in the supemarket or your fridge, the more water evaporates, and they become lighter. However, what you lose is water, not mushroom.
Quite a big difference. Actually the weight is allowed to differ in this case of 3% (on average of the lot) and single packages are allowed to differ by 6% –> so 12g –> 24g. The 70g are not OK (considering that the Tara of the wage was similar to the package material of the Champignons.
So either the champignons are not at all fresh any more and lost all their water or the champignons have not been packed properly.
Technically it is not acceptable, but on the other hand the fungi might have had the correct weight when packaged and they simply lost water while waiting to get bought.
So as long as Edeka can proof or varify the plastic box was packaged correctly with 400g its not illegal.
However i am sure you can get it cheaper if you ask an employee and show him or her the weight difference.
Damn. I don’t even check the weight on products with a bar code. Maybe I should start.
Call me nitpicky, but I almost always check packed vegetables that are sold by weight.
Often some will be below what they should be, other times I might get way more.
Just yesterday I bought a kilo of carrots and the first pack I took felt very light. Went to the scales and it was just over 700g. The next one had 1085g.
its almost 20% less…
Potatoes is Even a worse scam. You get 1.3 kg and pay for 2 kg.
This is probably legal but it’s impossible to tell. To be legal the weights printed on a product have to meet certain criteria *at the time of packaging*.
This is still legal if the product loses weight naturally, as mushrooms do.
Whether you think that is acceptable is up to you. However, those mushrooms are more than 90% water when they are fresh and you lose even more when you cook them anyway. Once cooked the difference will be practically nonexistant.

Typical FDEKA policy, all normal.
One time, I grabbed a 4 piece cinnamon role bag… it was… too light. I grasped the buns… 1, 2, 3… there were three!
I grabbed one that had four. They were kinda dry though.
In Rewe same shit
Not all groceries have scale though right? Like Hit,Aldi,Lidl?

You should complain to the supermarket.
Oh man yeah, go complain, somethings wrong.
Am checking that next time at kaufland.
Wtf, you even weighed it with the packaging
No way 🙁

The scale might be incorrect
I am not sure.
