(Given pursuant to section 4 of the Food and Drugs Act.) MISBRANDING OF RAISINS. On April 4, 1912, the United States Attorney for the Southern? District of California, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agri?? culture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said dis?? trict an information against the Phoenix Packing Co., a corporation,? Fresno, Cal., alleging shipment by said company, in violation of the? Food and Drugs Act, on or about November 16, 1910, from the State? of California into the State of Arizona, of a quantity of raisins which? were misbranded. The product was labeled: "Bleached Phoenix? Brand Tompson's Seedless Raisins. Packed by Phoenix Packing? Co., Fresno, Cal. Natural product of the vine cured in the sun with?? out use of chemicals. Packed in accordance with the National Pure? Food Laws. Serial No. 3306." Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry of? this Department showed the following results: Total sulphurous acid,? 41.7 mg per kilo.

On May 6, 1912, the defendant company entered a plea of guilty? to the information and the court imposed a fine of $1. W. M. HAYS,? Acting Secretary of Agriculture.? WASHINGTON, D.
