French translation:grammes estimés (symbole ℮)
Explanation:
I already saw it before and I am pretty sure it's for an estimated weight with precise tolerance. (4.5% less tolerated in the case of 200g)

In France, I already saw it on documents with a space "200 g e"

check the wikipedia page, it's pretty complete and in both languages :)

Good luck.
