611. Misbranding- of Oomph candy. U. S. v. 11 Dozen Boxes of Oomph Candy. Default decree of condemnation and destruction. (F. D. C. No. 8463. Sample No. 81214-E.) This candy, which was offered as an aid to reduction of weight, had essentially?( the same composition, was wrapped and packed like, and possessed approxi- mately the same caloric value as ordinary candy. On December 4, 1940, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of?j Wisconsin filed a libel against 11 dozen boxes of Oomph candy at Milwaukee, Wis., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about October 21, 1910, by Nu-Pak-Ej, Inc., from Chicago, ILL; and charging that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: " 'Oomph' Candy and Reducing Program." Analysis of a sample of the article showed that it consisted essentially of sugars, protein, fat, soybean flour, and small amounts of sodium chloride, phosphates, and calcium compounds. The article was alleged to be misbranded in that representations in the label- ing that it would be efficacious in the safe reduction of weight; that when used in conjunction with the dietary program included in the labeling, it would provide a proper method of "slenderizing" or losing .^excessive weight, were false and' misleading since it would not be efficacious for such purposes. It also was alleged to be misbranded under the provisions of the law applicable to foods, as reported in F. N. J. No. 2537. On January 23, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
