The product was labeled:? "Aunt Jemima's Sugar Cream, a blend of rock candy and maple? syrup creamed, contains 1/10 of 1? benzoate of soda, Rigney & Com?? pany, Brooklyn, N. Y." Analysis of a sample of said product made by the Bureau of? Chemistry of the United States Department of Agriculture showed? the following results: Polarization, direct, at 24? C., 90.0? V.; po?? larization, invert, at 24? C, 8.8:; sucrose, Clerget, 70.16 per cent;? polarization, invert, at 87? C., 28.0? V.; commercial glucose (factor? 163), 17.15 per cent; dextrin, by alcohol precipitate, strongly positive? test. The libel alleged that the product, after transportation from? the State of New York into the State of Missouri, remained in the? original unbroken packages, and was adulterated and misbranded,? and was therefore liable to seizure for confiscation. . Adulteration? and misbranding were alleged in the libel as follows: Adulteration in? this, to wit, that the syrup contained in said cans is not a blend of? rock candy and maple syrup, as the label thereon purports, but is a? liquid of which seventeen and fifteen hundredths per cent is glucose? products and that said glucose products have been mixed with said? syrup so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality and 27917??

On October 14, 1910, the case coming on for hearing and Rigney? & Co. having appeared as claimant, the court entered a decree finding? the product misbranded and ordered that the same shall not be sold? or otherwise disposed of contrary to the provisions of the Food and? Drugs Act or the laws of any State, Territory, District, or insular? possession, and, it appearing to the-court that the claimant, Rigney? & Co., had paid the costs of said case and executed a sufficient bond? conditioned that said property should not be sold contrary to the? provisions of law, the court further ordered that the said product? should be forthwith delivered to said claimant, Rigney & Co.
