INFORMATION FILED: February 12, 1945, Middle District of Georgia, against 
Charles O. McAfee, trading as the McAfee Candy Co., Macon, Ga.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT : On or about April 14, 15, and 18, 1944, from the State of 
Georgia into the State of Florida.
LABEL IN PART :    "Spanish Peanut Bar 5£   *   *   *   Net Weight 2*4 Oz."
VIOLATIONS CHARGED : Adulteration, Section 402 (b) (2), puffed wheat had been 
substituted in part for peanuts in the product; and, Section 402 (b) (4), puffed 
wheat had been added to the product or mixed or packed with it so as to 
make it appear to be a peanut bar, which is better and of greater value than 
the product was.
Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the name of the product, "Spanish Peanut Bar," 
was false and misleading; and, Section 403 (e) (2), the product failed to bear 
a label containing, an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents, since 
the wrappers enclosing it bore the statement "Net Wt. 2% Oz.," which was 
inaccurate since the candy bars weighed less than that amount.
DISPOSITION: April 18, 1945. The defendant having entered a plea of nolo 
contendere, the court imposed a fine of $3,000.
