2284. Misbranding of peanut butter.    V. S. v. 18 Cases of Peanut Butter.    Default
decree of condemnation.    Product ordered delivered to a charitable insti- 
tution.     (F. D. C. No. 4890.    Sample No. 37657-B.)
This product was short of the declared weight.
On June 6,1941, the United States attorney for the Southern District of Georgia 
filed a libel against 18 cases of peanut butter at Dublin, Ga., alleging that the 
article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 7, 1941, by 
Jaxon Foods, Inc., from Jacksonville, Fla.; and charging that it was misbranded. 
The article was labeled in part: (Jars) "Jaxon Brand Net Wt 2 Lbs< Peanut 
Butter."
The article, was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Net Wt 2 Lbs." 
was false and misleading as applied to an article that was short weight; and 
in that it was in package form and did not bear a label containing an accurate 
statement of the quantity of the contents.
On July 12, 1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institution.
