form and failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement of the quantity 
of the contents; and Section 403 (g) (1), it purported to be and was repre- 
sented as apple butter, a food for which a definition and standard of identity 
has been prescribed by regulations, but it failed to conform to the definition 
and Standard since the soluble solids content was less than 43 percent.

of the product having been seized, judgment of condemnation was entered and
