6101.   Misbranding of spaghetti.     U. S.    *    *    *   v. 21 Boxes of   *    *    *    Spa??
ghetti.    Default    decree    of   condemnation,    forfeiture,   and    sale.
(F. & D. No. 357-c.)
On June 21, 1917, the United States attorney for the Northern District of?
Florida, acting upon a report by the Commissioner of Agriculture of the State?
of Florida, filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a?
libel for the seizure and condemnation of 21 boxes of spaghetti, alleging that?
the article had been shipped on April 7, 1917, by P. J. Guarino, New Orleans,?
La., and transported from the State of Louisiana into the State of Florida, and?
charging misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was?
labeled in part, " Invincible Brand Spaghetti    *    *    *    13 lb. net."
It was alleged in the libel that the labels on the boxes or packages were?
false and that said packages were misbranded in that each of said boxes or?
packages did not contain 13 pounds net of spaghetti, but contained 14.23 per?
cent less than 13 pounds.
On August 24, 1917, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgment?
of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be sold by the United States marshal.
