28232. Licorice candy.   (F.D.O. No. 47185.   S. No. 13-909 T.)
QUANTITY : 86 cases, 16 pkgs. each, containing 6 individual bars each, at 
Chicago, Ill.
SHIPPED: Between 11-27-61 and 1-19-62, from St. Louis, Mo., by Switzer's 
Licorice Co.
LABEL IN PART: (Pkg.) "6 Pack Switzer's OH Fashioned Licorice"; (individ- 
ual bar) "Calorie Conscious? Switzer's Licorice Switzer's Licorice Com- 
pany, St. Louis, Mo. * * * NetWt. 1%6 Oz."
RESULTS OF INVESTIGATION : The candy bars were packed face up in an open tray 
type package which was wrapped and sealed in cellophane so that it could not 
be opened at the time of purchase and the mandatory information which was 
printed on the back of each candy bar, was not visible because of the card- 
board back of the package.
LIBELED :   3-1-62, N. Dist. Ill.
CHARGE: 403(a)—when shipped, the label statement "Calorie Conscious?" was 
false and misleading in that it suggested and implied that the article was of 
unusual value for calorie controlled diets because it was low in calories; 
403(f)—the place of business of the manufacturer, packer, or distributor, an 
accurate statement of the quantity of the contents, the common or usual name 
of each ingredient, and the declaration of preservative, were not prominently 
placed on the article with such conspicuousness (as compared with other 
words and statements on the label) as to render such information likely to be 
read by the ordinary individual under customary conditions of purchase and 
use.
DISPOSITION : 6-20-62. Consent—claimed by Switzer Licorice Co., and delivered 
to a charitable institution.
