5586. Misbranding of chicken noodle soup mix.    U.  S._v.  15 Cases of Chicken
Noodle   Soup   Mix.     Default   decree   of   condemnation   and' destruction.
(F. D. C. No. 9932.   Sample No. 15115-F.)
) On May 13, 1943, the United States attorney for the District of Oregon filed 
a libel against 15 cases of chicken noodle soup mix at Brownsville, Oreg., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about April 6; 
1943, by the DeLuxe Brands Co., from Los Angeles, Calif.; and charging that it 
was misbranded. The article was labeled in part r "DeLuxe Brand * * * 
{vignette of a chicken] Chicken Noodle Soup Mix." The article was alleged to 
be misbranded in that the vignette of a chicken and the name "Chicken Noodle 
Soup Mix" was false-and misleading as applied to an article that contained little, 
if any, extractives of chicken, arid which owed its flavor, at least in part, to 
artificial flavor.
On July 12,1943, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation was 
entered and the product was ordered destroyed.
