mixed with the article so as to increase its bulk and make it appear to contain 
more peanuts than it did, and thus to be of greater value than it was.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the name of the article, "Cornette," and the 
prominent designation of the word "peanut," which appeared on the label, 
was misleading since the article contained no popcorn and a very small amount 
of peanuts, and the designation of popcorn as an ingredient of the article was 
false and misleading since the article contained no popcorn; and, Section 403 
(i) (2), it was fabricated from two or more ingredients and its label failed to 
bear the common or usual name of each ingredient since puffed rice was not 
referred to on the label.

DISPOSITION: July 13, 1944. No claimant having appeared, judgment of
