5442. Misbranding of  candy.     U.  S. v. Cardinet  Candy Company, Inc.    Plea of
nolo contendere.   Fine, $50.    (F. D. C. No. 10573.    Sample No. 42648-F.)
On November 12, 1943, the United States attorney for the Northern District 
of California filed an information against the Cardinet Candy Co., Inc., Oakland, 
Calif., alleging shipment on or about May 3, 1943, from the State of California 
into, the State of Oregon of 2 cases, each containing a number of candy bars 
that were misbranded. The article was labeled in part: (Wrapper enclosing 
candy bar) "Oardinet's Almond Toffee.   Net Weight 1 Oz."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "Net Weight 
1 Oz" borne on the wrapper Was false and misleading since each of the candy bars 
weighed less than 1 ounce net; and in that it was in package form and did not 
bear a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity of the contents 
in terms of weight. 
Oh November 26,1943, a plea of nolo contendere haying been entered, the court 
imposed a fine of $50,
