FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION

[Dkt. C-2858]


California and Hawaiian Sugar Company, et al.; Prohibited Trade 
Practices and Affirmative Corrective Actions

AGENCY: Federal Trade Commission.

ACTION: Modifying order.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: This order reopens a 1977 consent order that settled 
allegations that the respondents deceptively advertised that sugar 
derived from Hawaiian sugar cane is different from or superior to other 
sugars, particularly those derived from beets. This order modifies the 
consent order so that the respondents may make claims about objective 
differences in granulated white sugars with respect to health, safety, 
nutritional quality, or purity, as long as it has competent and 
reliable evidence to substantiate such claims. The Commission found 
that the public interest warranted reopening and modifying the 1977 
order.

DATES: Consent order issued January 6, 1977. Modifying order issued 
January 17, 1995.\1\

    \1\Copies of the Modifying Order and Commissioner Starek's 
statement are available from the Commission's Public Reference 
Branch, H-130, 6th Street and Pennsylvania Avenue NW., Washington, 
DC 20580.
