5241. Misbranding of tomato puree.    U. S. v. 150 Cases of Tomato Puree.    Con¬
sent decree of condemnation. Product ordered released under bond for 
relabellngr.   (F. D. C. No. 9950.   Sample No. 36070-F.)
This product was short-weight.
On May 31, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Wyoming filed 
a libel against 150 cases, each containing 6 No. 10 cans, of tomato puree at Cas- 
per, Wyo., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on 
or about February 17, 1943, by the Colorado Marketing Company from Denver, 
Colo.; and charging that it was misbranded. The article was labeled in part: 
(Cans) "Colo. Flavor Tomato Puree * * * Net Contents 7 Lbs. 2 Oz. Packed 
by The Colorado Growers Co-Operative Palisade Colorado."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement: "Net Con-, 
tents 7 Lbs. 2 Oz." appearing on the labeling was false and misleading as ap- 
plied to an article,that was short-weight, and in that it was in package form 
and failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity of the 
contents. 
. 
Oh June 14,1843, the Colorado Marketing Co. having appeared as claimant and 
having consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was en- 
tered and the product was ordered released under bond for relabeling under the 
supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
