1891. Misbranding of table sirup.    IT. S. v. 198 Cases of Sirup.   Default decree of
condemnation. Product ordered distributed to local charitable organi- 
zations.    (F. D. C. No. 4255,    Sample Nos. 35078-E, 35079-E.)
This product consisted of a mixture of corn sirup, cane-sugar sirup, and a 
cane-flavored product. It had been shipped in interstate commerce unlabeled 
and was being sold, unlabeled, as cane sirup. The consignee had no agreement 
with the shipper relative to relabeling the product.
On April 7, 1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Mississippi filed a libel against 190 cases, each containing 6 No. 10 cans, and 8 
cases, each containing 24 No. 2% cans, of sirup at Jackson, Miss., alleging 
that the article had been shipped on or about March 17, 1941, by the T. J. 
Blackburn Syrup Works from Jefferson, Tex.; and charging that it was 
misbranded.
It was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that it was offered for sale under 
the name of another food; (2) in that it was in package form and did not bear 
a label containing the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, 
or distributor; (3) in that it was in package form and did not bear a label con- 
taining an accurate statement of the quantity of contents; (4) in that its label 
failed to bear the common or usual name of the food which it purported to be; 
and (5) in that it was fabricated from two or more ingredients and failed to 
bear the common or usual name of each ingredient.
On May 7, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation and 
destruction was entered. On the same day a supplemental order was entered 
providing for delivery of the product to local charitable organizations in lieu of 
destruction, for the exclusive use of such organizations.
