I wondered why this article doesn't have a very obvious thing for the topic it's trying to cover - a photo of mentioned stickers.

Perhaps because it's a rewrite of another article originally for European audience - for example https://www.theguardian.com/business/2023/sep/14/carrefour-p...

CNN removed the French photo and also introduced a mistake - when they converted "1.5 litres" for US audience they wrote "0.3 gallons" instead of "0.4"

I am not even sure why CNN bothered converting. Large coke bottles are 2L in the US, I am sure the average reader can grasp 1.5L.

Correct; the Guardian also syndicated the original article from Reuters.
