5451. Misbranding of honey.    IT. S. v. 8 Cases of Honey.   Default decree of con¬
demnation.      Product   ordered   delivered   to   a   charitable    institution.
(F. D. C. No. 10512.    Sample No. 34557-F.)
This product was short weight and contained undeclared artificial flavoring.
On August 28, 1943, the United States attorney for the Southern District of 
Florida filed a libel against 8 cases, each containing 24 jars, of honey at Jack- 
sonville, Fla., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about May 21, 
1943, by the Tavern Fruit Juice Co:, Inc., from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and charging 
that it was misbranded.   It was labeled in part: (Jars) '"Rexley Brand' Pure
ftl29170—44 2
Raspberry Flavored Honey Net Weight 1 Lb. * .*. '• Pure Honey—Flavored 
with Concentrated Raspberry Juice Natural Color—Natural Flavor."
It was alleged to be misbranded (1) in that the statements "Pure Rasp- 
berry * *¦*-. Flavored with Concentrated Raspberry Juices * * * Nat- 
ural Flavor" were false and misleading as applied to an article containing 
artificial flavoring, (2) the statement "Net Weight 1 Lb." was false and mis- 
leading as applied to an article that was short weight, (3) it was in package 
form and failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity 
of the contents; and (4) it contained artificial flavoring and failed to bear 
labeling stating that fact.
On October 23, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered, and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable institution 
on condition that it should not be sold.
