947. Misbranding of candy.    U. S. v. Ill Boxes of Candy.    Default decree of con¬
demnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 2283.    Sample No. 30801-E.)
Examination showed that this candy was wrapped in paper with unneces- 
sarily^long twisted ends, and that if packed without the use of.an unnecessary 
amount of paper, it would have occupied less than 70 percent of the space in the 
container.    It also was short of the declared weight.
On June 29, 1940, the United States attorney for the Northern District of 
Indiana filed a libel against Ill boxes of candy at Gary, Ind., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about June 12, 1940, by 
the Casey Concession Co. from Chicago Ill.; and charging that it was mis- 
branded. It was labeled in part: "Mrs. Murray's * * * Creamy Cara- 
melletes Net Weight 10 Ozs."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Net Weight 10 Ozs." 
wa^. false and misleading in that it was not correct, and in that it was in package 
fornTahd the package did hot bear an accurate statement of the quantity of the 
contents. It was alleged to be misbranded further in that its containers were 
so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading.
On August 16, 1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
