1538. Misbranding of pretzel sticks.     U. S. v. 12 Cases of Pretzel Sticks.    De¬
fault decree of condemnation and destruction.    (F. D. C. No. 2551.    Sam- 
ple No. 24247-B.)
The packages each contained a wax paper bag filled with pretzel sticks. The 
product occupied on an average only about 62 percent of the capacity of the 
package.
On August 14, 1940, the United States attorney for the District of New 
Jersey filed a libel against 12 cases of pretzel sticks at CoUingswood, N. J., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce within the 
period from on or about July 8 to on or about July 17, 1940, by the Union 
Premier Stores, Inc., from Philadelphia, Pa.; and charging that it was mis- 
branded in that its container was so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading. 
The article was labeled in part: (Package) "Fyne Taste Pretzel Sticks * • * * 
Distributed by Food Fair Inc. of Penna. Philadelphia."
On January 31, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
