NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 386, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
ADULTERATION  AND  MISBRANDING  OF   OLIYE  OIL.
On or about September 14, 1909, George P. Calogera, of New York?
City, shipped from the State of New York to the State of Georgia a?
quantity of a food product labeled " Extra Superfine Olive Oil."?
Samples from this product were procured and analyzed by the Bureau?
of Chemistry, United States Department of Agriculture, and as the?
findings of the analyst and report made indicated that the product?
was adulterated and misbranded within the meaning of the Food and?
Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the said George P. Calogera, and the?
party from whom the samples were procured, were afforded oppor??
tunities for hearings. As it appeared after hearings held that the?
shipment was made in violation of the act, the Secretary of Agri??
culture reported the facts to the Attorney-General, with a statement?
of the evidence upon which to base a prosecution.
In due course a criminal information was filed in the Circuit Court?
of the United States for the Southern District of New York charging?
the above shipment and alleging that the product was adulterated,?
in that there had been substituted in part for the olive oil it pur??
ported to be a great amount of cottonseed oil, and that it was mis-?
branded, in that the label on the can in which said product was?
shipped was false and misleading because said label indicated that?
the contents were pure olive oil, whereas, in truth and in fact, said?
contents were not olive oil, but olive oil mixed with a large propor??
tion of cottonseed oil.
On April 4, 1910, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to this?
information, and the court imposed a fine of $50.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.

Secretary of Agriculture.
