HD 3645 Massachusetts House · 194th Legislature (2025-2026)

An Act relative to sales at retail

This bill requires retailers to sell most meats, poultry, and fish (excluding soft shell clams and oysters) by weight at the point of sale, rather than by the piece or portion. Retailers must display the product name, net weight, and price per unit for bulk items, and for combined products (like meals), they must list ingredients by weight in order of predominance while using total weight for quantity. Violations carry a $10 fine or civil citation under Chapter 98. The law directly affects grocery stores, butcher shops, and seafood vendors selling these items.
