891. Misbranding of grated cheese.    TJ. 5. v. 8 Dozen Packages of Grated Cheese.
Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture.    Product delivered to a 
charitable institution.    (F. D. C. No. 995.   Sample No. 71110-D.)
This product was found to be short of the declared weight, and it occupied only 
57 percent of the capacity of the containers.
On November 17, 1939, the United States attorney for the District of Colorado 
filed a libel against 8 dozen packages of grated cheese at Denver, Colo., con- 
signed by Ehrat Cheese Co., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about October 13 and October 24, 1939, from Chief go, Ill., 
and charging that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Riviera Par- 
mesan Cheese Grated."
The article was alleged to be misbranded In that the statement "Net "Weight 
8 oz. when packed," borne on the label, was false and misleading since the 
said statement was incorrect; in that its container was so made, formed, or 
filled as to be misleading; and in that it was in package form and did not bear 
an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents.
On December 20, 1939, a consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture was 
entered, and the cheese was ordered delivered to a charitable institution.
