3080. Misbranding of lingon berries. U. S. v.. 16 Cartons of Lingon Berries. 
Consent decree of condemnation. Product released under bond for 
relabeling.    (F. D. C. No. 6697.   Sample No. 63434-E.)
This product was short of the declared weight, and its label failed to bear 
an ingredient statement.
On January 14, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against 16 cartons of lingon berries at Seattle, Wash., 
alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about 
December 15, 1941, by the Scandia Commercial Co. from San Francisco, Calif.; 
and charging that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Jars) 
"Scandia Brand Imported Preserved Lingon  Berries   *    *    *   16  Ozs.  Net."
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement on the label, "16 
Ozs. Net," was false and misleading as applied to an article that was short 
weight; (2) in that it was in package form and its label did not bear an 
accurate statement of the quantity of contents; and (3) in that it was fabri- 
cated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear the common or 
usual name of each ingredient.
On February 27, 1942, the Nordic Baking & Importing Co., Seattle, Wash., 
claimant, having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered released under bond for relabeling 
Under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
