709. Adulteration and misbranding of noodles.     V.  S. v.  14 Cases  of  Noodles.
Default decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 1594.   Sampie 
Nos. 14101-B, 14103-E, 14104-E.)
•   This product contained a yellow coal-tar color, tartrazine.
-   On March 7, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey
filed a libel against 14 cases of noodles at Camden, N. J., alleging that the article
had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about February 9 and 16, 1940,
by V. Arena & Sons, Inc., from Norristown, Pa.; and charging that it was
adulterated and misbranded.   It was labeled in part: (Packages) "Conte Luna
Pure Egg Noodles."
It was alleged to be adulterated in that an artificially colored product had 
been substituted for pure egg noodles. It was alleged to be adulterated further 
in that artificial color had been added thereto so as to make it appear better 
or of greater value than it was with respect to egg content.
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement in the labeling, "Pure 
Egg Noodles * * * Made from semolina and egg yolk," was false and mis- 
leading as applied to an article that contained artificial color.
On May 31, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
