Plenty of people have already explained that consumer scales show bullshit. But there's another reason why your weight is not the same as producer's weight.

You see, kilograms are a unit of measure of mass, not weight. Weight is measured in Newtons. And 1kg = 1 * g Newtons. But here's the catch - g is not constant in real life. It changes from 9.7639 to 9.8337 depending on your location. That's almost 1% of variance.

What that means is that if you take your scales and your pasta and go on a worldwide trip, then you will see different weight in different locations.

They all have legally allowed margins of error.they use it to their full advantage.

Record profits is just code for "the successful fleecing of the 99%"... It has a better ring to it.

The real crime here is that you bought Barilla instead of DeCecco.

"shrinkflation" or smth

That would be outright illegal. It's more likely that op lives in lower humidity areas and non air tight food looses some water weight, or that op needs to calibrate their scale or buy a new one.

Weigh another one with the package and see if it matches to what it says on the package. Use the produce weight scale at the store so you don't have to buy two of them. I have a suspicion that you're buying the package. But then if that's the case then those meat moisture absorbers also will add a lot of weight when it comes to buying meat.
