ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF TANILLA EXTRACT.
On March 18, 1911, the United States Attorney for the District of?
New Jersey, acting upon a report of the Secretary of Agriculture,?
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district a libel?
praying condemnation and forfeiture of one barrel of vanilla extract?
in the possession of Junjalas & Psichos, Newark, N. J. The product?
was labeled: " XXXXX Vanilla."
Analysis of a sample of said product, made by the Bureau of Chem??
istry of the United States Department of Agriculture, showed the?
following results: Specific gravity 15.6? C, 1.1136; alcohol by vol??
ume, 18.50 per cent; methyl alcohol, absent; solid matter, 35.6 per?
cent; sucrose, 25.4 per cent; invert sugar, 1.02 per cent; non-sugar?
solids exclusive of vanillin and coumarin, 8.34 per cent; ash, 0.08?
grams per 100 cc; phosphoric acid, 6.3 mg per 100 cc; vanillin, 0.66?
per cent; coumarin, 0.06 per cent; vanilla resins, absent; caramel,?
present. The libel alleged that the product, after shipment by the?
Manhattan Importing Co., Cleveland, Ohio, from the State of Ohio?
into the State of New Jersey, remained in the original unbroken pack??
age, and was adulterated and misbranded in violation of the Food and?
Drugs Act of June 30, 1906, and was therefore liable to seizure for?
confiscation. Adulteration and misbranding was alleged in the libel?
in words and figures as follows: That the said alleged vanilla extract,?
so contained in the said barrel, is labeled " XXXXX Vanilla ", which?
label, inscription, delineations and language were then and there?
intended by their terms and style of display to indicate that the con??
tents of said barrel were pure vanilla extracts, when in truth and in?
fact the alleged vanilla extract as contained in said barrel was not?
the product indicated by the terms displayed on the said label thereon,
