I think it's time someone started a Truth in Packaging movement in America.
I have several packages of frozen vegetables in my freezer that claim to hold "about" 2 servings and that each of those servings equals 1 cup. Then just below that they have a disclaimer that they really mean each serving is 3/4 cup.
A cup equals 8 ounces so a 3/4 cup serving would be 6 ounces.
Each of the packages contain 7 - 9 ounces (according to the package). Divide by 2 and each serving would be 3 1/2 to 4 1/2 ounces. Rounding up (to be more generous than the food companies), each serving would be approximately 4 to 5 ounces.
I have a warning to you companies that think 4 to 5 ounces is "about" one cup. "Don't look now, but your pants are on fire."
