Misbranding, Section 403 (a), the statements appearing on the label, "Sor- 
ghum Syrup," "Made of Sorghum Syrup and Corn Syrup," and "Net Contents: 
3 Quarts, 1 Pint," were false and misleading as applied to the article, which 
consisted of corn sirup and partially refined sugar sirup with little or no sorghum 
sirup, and which was short volume; Section 403 (e) (2), the product was food 
in package form and it failed to bear a label containing an accurate statement 
of the quantity of the contents; and, Section 403 (i) (2), it was fabricated from 
two or more ingredients and its label failed to bear the common or usual name 
of each ingredient since the presence of partially refined sugar sirup was not 
declared.

consented to the entry of a decree, judgment of condemnation was entered and 
the product was ordered released under bond to be relabeled under the super-
