319. Misbranding of candy.    U. S. v. 114 Cartons of Candy.    Default decree of
condemnation.    Product   ordered   delivered   to   a   Federal   institution.
(F. D. C. No. 903.    Sample No. 46610-D.)
This product was put up in packages containing 16 candy drops which 
occupied about two-thirds of the volume of the package.
On November 8, 1939, the United States attorney for the Eastern District 
of Michigan filed a libel against 114 cartons of candy at Detroit, Mich., alleging 
that the article had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about October 
7, 1939, by Metro Chocolate Co., Inc., from Brooklyn, N. Y.; and charging that it 
was misbranded in that its container was so made, formed, or filled as to be 
misleading. The article was labeled in part: "Metro Assorted Candy Drops 
[or "Imitation Wild Cherry Drops" or "Root Beer Drops"]."
On December 21, 1939, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemna- 
tion was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a Federal institution.
