2992. Misbranding of gelatin.    V. S. v. 59 Dozen Cartons of Gelatin.    Default
decree of condemnation. Product ordered delivered to a local chari- 
table organization.    (F. D. C. No. 5470.    Sample No. 74304-E.)
Each carton of this product contained a paper bag of gelatin and a recipe 
booklet. The gelatin occupied on an average only about 40 percent of the 
capacity of the carton.
On August 28, 1941,' the United States attorney for the District of New Jersey 
filed a libel against 59 dozen cartons of gelatin at Newark; N. J., alleging that 
the article had been shipped on or about June 17, 1941, by Peter Cooper's 
Gelatine from New York, N. Y.; and charging that it was misbranded in that 
its container was so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading. The article 
was labeled in part: (Cartons) "Peter Cooper's Clarified Gelatine Jellies, Blanc 
Mange, Charlotte Russe ' *   *    *   Net Weight 1% Ozs."
On November 18,1941, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a local charitable 
organization.
