NOTICE OF JUDGMENT NO. 972, FOOD AND DRUGS ACT.
MISBRANDING OF A FOOD PRODUCT—" CROWN GLOSSINE."
On or about March 8, 1910, Solomon Weinberg, doing business 
under the firm name and style of the Crown Manufacturing Com- 
pany, shipped from the State of New York into the State of New 
Jersey a quantity of a product labeled: " Crown Glossine, with 
Chocolate Flavor and harmless color. Crown Manufacturing Co., 
New York, N. Y." Samples from this shipment were procured and 
analyzed by the Bureau of Chemistry, United States Department of 
Agriculture, and the product was found to contain 27 parts per 
million of arsenic. As it appeared from the above analysis and the 
report thereon that the product was adulterated within the meaning 
of the Food and Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, the Secretary of Agri- 
culture afforded the said Solomon Weinberg and the party from 
whom the samples were procured opportunities for hearings. As it 
appeared after hearings held that the shipment was made in viola- 
tion 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 Solomon Weinberg, charging the above shipment, and alleg- 
ing that the product so shipped was adulterated in that it contained 
arsenous oxide, a substance injurious to health.
On April 3, 1911, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the 
above information, and the court imposed a fine of $200.
This notice is given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs
Act of June 30, 1906.

/Secretary of Agriculture.
