This product was short of the declared weight.
On March 27, 1942, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of 
Washington filed a libel against 18 cases, each containing 24 bottles, of olive 
oil at Yakima, Wash., alleging that the article had been shipped in interstate 
commerce on or about October 19,1939, by the E. & J. Co. from Portland, Oreg.; 
and charging that it was misbranded. The.article was labeled in part: "E & J 
Brand   net wt. 4 ozs.   Pure Virgin Olive Oil."
The article was alleged to be misbranded in that the statement "net wt. 
4 ozs." was false and misleading, as applied to an article that was short weight; 
and in that-it was in package form and did not bear a label containing an 
accurate statement of the quantity of the contents.
On July 8, 1942, Coffin Bros., Inc., Yakima, Wash., claimant, having admitted 
the allegations of the libel and having consented to the entry of a decree of con- 
demnation, judgment was entered ordering that the product be released under 
bond for relabeling under the supervision of the Food and Drug Administration.
