NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 684, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
MISBRANDING OF LEMON FLAVORING.
On or about December 17, 1909, The Crandall Pettee Company, a?
corporation, New York City, shipped from the State of New York to?
the State of North Carolina a quantity of a food product labeled?
"The Crandall Pettee Company. All lemon compound put up espe??
cially for bakers' use. Of unusual sweetness and purity. Better?
than lemon oil because it needs not to be cut or reduced. Better?
than lemon extract because it will not bake out in the oven. For?
sale only by Crandall Pettee Company, 40-42 Renwick Street, New?
York City." Samples of this shipment were procured and analyzed?
by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of Agricul??
ture, and as it appeared from the findings of the analyst and report?
thereon that the product was misbranded within the meaning of the?
Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the Secretary of Agriculture?
afforded the said Crandall Pettee 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 Crandall Pettee Company charging the above shipment and?
alleging that the product so shipped was misbranded, in that it was?
labeled so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser into the belief?
that the product consisted of pure lemon oil, when as a matter of?
fact nearly 80 per cent of said product was sesame.
Upon arraignment 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.
W. M. HAYS,?
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
