3447. Misbranding of noodles.    IT. S. v. 25 Cases of Noodles.    Default decree of
condemnation.   Product ordered delivered to a Federal institution.    (F.
D. C. No, 6752.   Sample No. 85586-E.)
This product occupied only about One-third of the capacity of the container.
On January 22, 1942, the United States attorney for the Western District of 
Washington filed a libel against 25 cases, each containing 24 6-ounce packages, 
of noodles at Tacoma, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in 
interstate commerce on or about September 22, 1941, by Oriental Food Products 
Co. of California from Los Angeles, Calif.; and charging that it was misbranded. 
It was labeled in part: (Packages) "Jan-U-Wine Plain Noodles."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the packages were too large 
for the amount of noodles they contained, and the noodles did not occupy a 
reasonable amount of the available space.
On April 27, 1942, no claimant having appeared, judgment of condemnation 
was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a Federal institution.
