Noodle Products. Default decree of condemnation. Product ordered 
distributed to charitable institutions. (F. D. C. No. 2398. Sample Nos. 
33159-E, 33160-E.)
These packages were filled, on an average, to only about 83 percent of their 
capacity.
On July 19, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed libels against 36 cartons of egg noodle products, at Jersey City, N. J., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
May 6, 1940, by the Atlantic Macaroni Co., Inc., from Long Island City, N. Y.; 
and charging that it was misbranded in that its containers were so made, formed, 
or filled as to be misleading. The article was labeled in part: "Streit's Pure 
Egg Noodle Products * * * Distributed by A. Streit, Inc. New York." 
~On December 21,1940, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered distributed to charitable institutions.
