5453. Misbranding of powdered sugar.    IT. S. v. 96 Cartons of Powdered Sugar.
Default decree of condemnation.    Product ordered delivered to welfare 
organizations.   (F. D. C. No. 10141.   Sample No. 48325-F.)
This product was short weight.
On June 23,1943, the United States attorney for the Southern District of Ohio 
filed a libel against 96 cartons, each containing 24 packages, of powdered sugar 
at Cincinnati,. Ohio, which had been consigned on or about March 19 and April 3, 
1943, alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce by the 
National Sugar Refining Co. from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and charging that it was mis- 
branded. The article was labeled in part: (Packages) "Jack Frost Extra-Fine 
Powdered Sugar   *   *   *   1 Pound Net,"
It was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "1 Pound Net" was false 
and misleading as applied to an article that was short weight, and in that it was 
in a package form and failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement of 
xt]j*rq^antity of the contents.
On July 26,1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered delivered to welfare organizations.
