(a) The price of food commodities sold from bulk shall be computed in terms of the price of whole units such as kilograms, pounds, ounces, gallons, and liters, and not in terms of fractions or decimals of units.

(b) The price of food commodities sold from bulk shall be posted, displayed, and advertised in terms of the price of whole units such as those listed in (a) above.

(c) When the price of food commodities is posted, displayed or advertised in terms of the price of a whole unit in accordance with (b) above, supplemental posting, display, or advertising of the price in terms of a fraction or a decimal of the unit shall be permitted if:

(1) Such posting, display or advertising is in print no larger than that used to post, display or advertise the whole-unit price; and

(2) The mathematical conversion of the price per decimal or fraction of the unit to the price in terms of the whole unit computes to the whole-unit price to the nearest cent.

(1) The weight of the container shall not be included when the commodity is weighed for the purpose of computing the cost to the customer; and

(2) The retailer may make a separate charge for the container if such separate charge is conspicuously posted, displayed, and advertised in association with the whole-unit price of the commodity.
