402 (b) (2), an artificially flavored and colored sugar sirup containing little, 
if any, maple sirup had been substituted in whole or in part for maple sirup; 
Section 402 (b) (3), inferiority had been concealed by the addition of artificial 
flavoring and coloring; and, Section 402 (b) (4), artificial flavoring and 
coloring had been added to the article and mixed and packed with it so as 
to make it appear better and of greater value than it was.

was false and misleading; Section 403 (e), the label of the article failed to 
contain the name and place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or dis- 
tributor, and an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents; Section
403 (i) (2), the label of the article failed to bear the common or usual name 
of each of the ingredients; and, Section 403 (k), the article contained artificial 
flavoring and artificial coloring and failed to bear a label stating that fact.

demnation was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a charitable 
institution after the labeling had been defaced or removed.
