2191. Adulteration and misbranding of process cheese. IT. S. V. 39 Boxes and 
20 Loaves of Process Cheese. Consent decree of condemnation. Product 
ordered distributed to charitable institutions. (F. D. C. No. 3798. Sample 
No. 56005-E.) 
The packages of this product contained less than the declared weight. The 
product also contained excessive moisture.
On February 11, 1941, the United States attorney for the District of Connecticut 
filed a libel against 39 boxes each containing 5 pounds of process cheese, and 
20 5-pound loaves of the same, product, which had been removed from the 
boxes, at Waterbury, Conn., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about January 23, 1941, by Sunette Cheese Corporation 
from New York, N. Y.; and charging that it was adulterated and misbranded. 
The article in the boxes was labeled in part: "5 Lbs. Net Sunette Brand} American 
Pasteurized ProcessCheese.". 
,
It was alleged to be adulterated in that a substance, process cheese containing 
excessive moisture, had been substituted wholly or in part for the article; and 
in that water had been added thereto or mixed or packed therewith so as to 
increase its bulk or weight or reduce its quality or strength or make it appear 
better or of greater value than it was.
Misbranding of the product in the boxes was alleged in that the statement 
"5 Lbs. Net" was false and misleading since it was incorrect; and in that it was 
in package form and did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of 
contents.
On May 1, 1941, the claimant having consented to the entry of a decree, 
judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered ^distributed 
to charitable institutions.
