LIBEL FILED :    On or about July 15,1944, District of Connecticut.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about June 8, 1944, by the Goodman Products Co., 
Brooklyn, N. Y.
PRODUCT: 7 cases, each containing 12 1-quart bottles, of grape juice at New 
Haven, Conn.
LABEL IN PART:    (Bottles)   "Paradise Brand   *   *    *   Pure Concord Grape
Juice."
VIOLATIONS CHARGED: Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (2), an acidulated and 
sweetened mixture of grape juice and water had been substituted in whole or 
in part for "Grape Juice Sugar Added," which the product was represented to 
be; and, Section 402 (b) (4), water had been added to the product and mixed 
and packed with it so as to reduce its quality or strength.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statements, "Cont. 1 Pl. Quart Pure Con- 
cord Grape Juice Sugar Added This Grape Juice is the Pure Juice of the 
Bipe Concord Grape," were false and misleading as applied to an acidulated 
and sweetened mixture of grape juice and water which was short of the de- 
clared volume; and, Section 403 (e) (2), the product was a food in package 
form, and it failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement of the 
quantity of the contents since the bottles contained less than "1 Fl. Quart," the 
volume declared.
DISPOSITION: December 4, 1944. No claimant having appeared, judgment of 
condemnation was entered and the product was ordered delivered to charitable 
institutions, after the labels had been removed.
