fault decree of condemnation. Product ordered delivered to a local 
Charitable organization.     (F. D. C. No. 6740.    Sample Nos. 84526-B, 84724-E.)
Examination showed that this product was French dressing consisting essen- 
tially of peanut oil, vinegar, and.spices, with little or no olive oil.
On January 20, 1942, the United States attorney for the District of New Jer- 
sey filed a libel against 30 cases, each containing 12 6-ounce bottles, of salad 
dressing at Newark, N. J., alleging that the article had been shipped in inter- 
state commerce on or about November 21 and December 31, 1941, by C. F. Mat- 
tlage Sales Co. from New York, N. Y.; and charging that it was misbranded. It; 
was labeled in part:    (Bottles) "You-AU Brand French Salad Dressing."
The article was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the statement in the 
labeling, "Made with imported pure olive oil, the finest salad oil," was false and 
misleading as applied to an article containing little or no olive oil; and (2); in 
that the statement, "Guaranteed to comply with all pure food laws," was false 
and misleading in that it was incorrect
On April 23, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a local charitable organi- 
zation, after said organization had destroyed the labels.
