1286. Misbranding of sandwich spread. TJ. S. v. 78 Cartons and 75 Cases of Sandwich Spread. Consent decree of condemnation. Product ordered released under bond to be relabeled. (F. D. C. No. 2011. Sample No. 13386-E.) The labels of these products were misleading since they bore the prominent designations "Kippered * * * Tuna" and "Kippered * * * Salmon," which conveyed the impression that they consisted essentially of tuna or salmon; whereas they consisted of ground fish and other ingredients, and the misleading impression was not corrected by the less conspicuous statement "Salad Sandwich Spread" or the still less conspicuous statement "Oil, Salt, Fish, Flour Added," borne on the labels. Both products were also short weight. On May 31, 1940, the United States attorney for the Southern District of New York filed a libel against 78 cartons of Sandwich Spread Tuna and 75 cases of Sandwich Spread Salmon at New York, N. Y., alleging that the articles had been shipped in interstate commerce on or about May 1, 1940, by the Stayton Canning Co. Cooperative from Stayton, Oreg.; and charging that they were misbranded. The articles were labeled in part: (Cans) "Kippered Salad Sandwich Spread Tuna [or "Salmon"] Gray Gull Fisheries Co. New York, N. Y. * * * Net Weight 8 Oz." They were alleged to be misbranded in that the prominent designations "Kip- pered * * * Tuna" and "Kippered * * * Salmon" and other statements contained on the labels were false and misleading as applied to articles which consisted of ground fish and other ingredients. They were alleged to be mis- branded further in that the statement "Net Weight 8 Oz." was false and mis- leading since it was not correct; and in that the articles were in package form and did not bear an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents. On June 20, 1940, Gray Gull Fisheries Co., of New York, claimant, having ad- mitted the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation was entered and the product was ordered released under bond conditioned that it be relabeled in compliance with the requirements of the law. 201038°—41 4 ;
