These products, were short volume.
On July 22, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Idaho filed a 
libel against the above-named products -at Boise, Idaho, alleging that the 
articles had been shipped from Seattle, Wash., on or about June 26, 1943, by 
the Turner & Pease Co., Inc.; and charging that they were misbranded. The 
articles were labeled in part: (Jars) "Shurfine Sandwich Spread [or "Taste- 
well *
' * * Nipp"] *¦ * * Contents 1 Pt. * * * National Retailer- 
Owned Grocers, Inc. Distributors * * * Chicago, Ill.," or "Salad Treat 
Treat Salad Dressing   *    *   *   Contents 1 Quart."
They were alleged to be misbranded in that the statements "contents 1 Pt." 
(50 cases), "Contents 1 Pint" (10 cases)-, and "Contents 1 Quart" (120 cases), 
were false and misleading as applied to articles that were short volume; and 
in that they were in package form and failed to bear labels containing an ac- 
curate statement of the quantity of the contents.
On September 20, 1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of forfeiture 
was entered and the products were ordered delivered to the Salvage Committee 
of the War Production Board.
