10144. Misbranding of E-Z Sauce   (dehydrated apples).    U. S. v. 50 Cartons of
E—Z Sauce.   Default decree of condemnation.   Product ordered delivered
to a charitable institution.    (F. D. C. No. 17222.    Sample No. 36260-H.)
LIBEL FILED :    September 7,1945, District of Oregon.
ALLEGED SHIPMENT: On or about July 20, 1945, by the Aldama Products Co., 
from Los Angeles, Calif.
PRODUCT: 50 cartons, each containing 24 3%-ounce bags, of dehydrated apples 
at Portland, Oreg.
NATURE OF CHARGE: Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the label statements, "E-Z 
Sauce Makes Delicious Apple Sauce" and "Makes E-Z Apple Sauce," were 
misleading since the article consisted only of dehydrated apples; and, Section 
403 (f), the common or usual name of the article "Dehydrated Apples," the 
net weight statement, and the statement of added sulfur dioxide, required 
to appear on the label, were not prominently placed thereon with such con- 
spicuousness (as compared with "other words, statements, designs, or devices 
in the labeling) as to render them likely to be read by the ordinary individual 
under customary conditions of purchase and use, since they appeared in 
print so small as to be practically illegible.
DISPOSITION : October 4, 1945. No claimant having appeared, judgment of 
condemnation was entered and the product was ordered delivered to a 
charitable institution.
