About this symbol
℮ is the estimated sign, the small e printed beside the weight or volume on food and drink packs sold in the European Union. It means the pack follows the EU’s average quantity rules, which date from 1976: across a batch, packs must hold at least the stated amount on average, with tight limits on any one pack falling short.
