ADULTERATION OF LEMON FLAVOR.
On or about March 6, 1910, the Hetfield Extract and Manufactur??
ing Company, a corporation, New York City, shipped from the State?
of New York to the State of New Jersey a consignment of a food?
product labeled " Goldenrod Compound Lemon Flavor Compound of?
oil lemon Dil. alcohol, Veg. color, Hetfield Ext. & Mfg. Co., New?
York, NT. Y." Samples from this shipment were procured and an??
alyzed by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of?
Agriculture, and as the findings of the analyst and report made showed?
that the product was adulterated within the meaning of the Food?
and Drugs Act of June 30,1906, the Secretary of Agriculture afforded?
the said Hetfield Extract and Manufacturing Company, and the party?
from whom the samples were procured, opportunities for hearings.?
As it appeared after hearings held that the shipment was made in?
violation of the act, the Secretary of Agriculture 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 against?
the said Hetfield Extract and Manufacturing Company, charging?
the above shipment and alleging that the product so shipped was?
adulterated, in that it consisted of a highly dilute solution of citral?
in methyl alcohol, containing practically no oil of lemon, and colored?
with a coal-tar dye.
The defendant entered a plea of guilty to the above information?
and the court imposed a fine of $5.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs?
Act of June 30, 1906.
