NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 443, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
MISBRANDING OF FLOUR.
During the month of November, 1908, the Wasco Warehouse Milling?
Company of The Dalles, Oreg., shipped from the State of Oregon to?
the State of California 3,000 sacks of flour. Examination of samples?
of this product made in the Bureau of Chemistry, United States De??
partment of Agriculture, showed it to be misbranded within the mean??
ing of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, and as it appeared?
from the findings of the analyst and report made that the product was?
liable to seizure under section 10 of the act, the Secretary of Agricul??
ture reported the facts to the United States attorney for the Northern?
District of California.
In due course a libel was filed against said 3,000 sacks of flour?
charging the misbranding of said product within the meaning of the?
act, because each and every one of said sacks of flour was labeled or?
branded "Mission Chimes, Highest Patent Family Flour, Special?
Blend, Selected Wheat, Hutton Milling Company, San Francisco,?
California," there being on each of said labels a picture of a mission?
building marked "Santa Clara Mission," and printed in red on the?
end of each of said sacks "Mission Chimes," when in truth and in fact?
the said flour was manufactured in the State of Oregon, by the Wasco?
Warehouse Milling Company, in the city of The Dalles in the State of?
Oregon, and the labels above referred to as appearing on each of said?
sacks of flour were therefore false and misleading in the particulars?
just stated.
Thereupon C. A. Hutton Flour Company, San Francisco, Cal.; en??
tered an appearance and set up a claim to the product and the case?
coming on for hearing, the goods were released to said claimant, in?
accordance with the provisions of section 10 of the act, by order of?
the court, upon the filing of a bond conditioned that said product?
should not be sold in violation of law.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
WASHINGTON, D. C, May 23, 1910.
