1654. Misbranding of chicken soup.     IT. S. v. 54 Cases of Chicken Soup.    Default
decree of condemnation and destruction.     (F. D. C. No. 3418.    Sample No. 
55357-B.)
This product was found to be short of the declared weight and to contain 
undeclared artificial flavoring; and its label also failed to bear the common 
or usual name of each ingredient.
On November 19, 1940, the United States attorney for the Western District 
of Washington filed a libel against 54 cases, each containing 48 cans, of chicken 
soup at Seattle, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce from Portland, Oreg., by Stidd's, Inc., on or about June 13, 1940; 
and charging that it was misbranded. It was labeled in part: "Stidd's Con- 
centrated Chicken Soup   *    *    *   contents 11 oz. avoir."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that (1) the statement "Contents 
11 pz. avoir" was false and misleading, since it was incorrect;  (2) it was in
package form and did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of con- 
tents; (3) it was fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label did 
not bear the common or usual name of each ingredient; and (4) it contained 
artificial flavoring but did not bear labeling stating that fact.
On January 31, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
