A SURVEY has revealed that shoppers in Wiltshire are sometimes being short-changed when buying canned or bottled food.
Trading standards officers from across the South West carried out the survey, and found that in Wiltshire seven out of 55 purchases contained less net drained weight content than was advertised.
In these cases the products were short by up to 15 grams for packs that advertised the drained net weight as being 240 grams.
