WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
The Division of Weights and Measures regulates many aspects of commerce and
trade throughout the state. The division ensures that equity prevails in the
marketplace for both buyers and sellers by inspecting over 100,000 commercial
weighing, measuring, metering and scanning devices. In addition, any commodity
sold by weight, measure or count is subject to inspection to ensure consumers
are getting what they pay for. Items inspected include food and dairy products,
household products, gardening products, firewood and hundreds of other products
purchased daily by consumers and businesses.

INVESTIGATIONS

a complaint online
The first priority of the division is to investigate consumer complaints.
Examples of consumer complaints include the following:
* If someone feels that they have been overcharged
* If the quantity of a product that they have purchased is misrepresented in
some way, or
* If the motor fuel they have bought is contaminated by water or particulate
matter.
With the help of consumer complaints, problems have often been brought to the
attention of the division, leading to the prosecution of companies for
overcharging or inaccurate weighing or measuring practices. These reports
further the division’s mission of ensuring that equity prevails in the
marketplace.
Complaints can be reported to the Office of Agro-Consumer Services Division of
Weights and Measures at 1-800-247-1086 during regular business hours. You can
also submit complaints online here.

FROM THE COMMISSIONER
For Louisiana to maintain a leading position, we must surpass existing standards
of agricultural and forestry achievement and seek additional opportunities for
growth and prosperity. Louisiana's agricultural industries and its forestry,
soil and water resources are critical to the advancement of our state and play a
central role in our diverse cultural heritage.
As your Commissioner of Agriculture and Forestry, I am committed to working with
the farmer and forester, producer and processor and all others to ensure our
food is safe, our fiber production among the best and our animals strong and
healthy. Thank you for the honor and privilege of serving you. - Mike Strain DVM
