LIBELED :    3-6-62, N. Dist. Ill.
CHARGE: 403(a)—when shipped, the label statements, "Less Calories" and "No 
Oils or Sugar Used In Processing" represented and suggested that the caloric 
content of the article was significantly different from roasted peanuts generally, 
and that the article was of unusual value for weight reduction, which state- 
ments were false and misleading since they were contrary to fact.
DISPOSITION : On 3-23-62, Standard Brands, Inc., filed a claim to the article as 
owner, and, thereafter, an answer denying that the article was misbranded. 
Subsequently, the Government served written interrogatories upon the claim- 
ant. On 10-10-62, a consent decree of condemnation was entered, the claimant 
having consented to the entry of a decree without any adjudication as to any 
issue of fact or law, and the claimant having represented to the court that the
article was fit for human consumption, that the article was not then being 
marketed by the claimant with the labeling which was challenged in the libel, 
that such labeling was no longer used by the claimant, and that the claimant 
believed no useful purpose would be served by contesting the charges of the 
libel.   The article was delivered to a charitable institution.
