ADULTERATION OF MILK.
On July 15, 1912, the United States Attorney for the District of?
Connecticut, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture,?
filed in the District Court of the United States for said district an?
information against C. A. Perkins, Chestnut Hill, Conn., alleging?
shipment by him, in violation of the Food and Drugs Act, on or?
about September 8,1911, from the State of Connecticut into the State?
of Rhode Island of a quantity of milk which was adulterated. The?
product bore no label.
Analysis of a sample of the product by the Bureau of Chemistry?
of this Department showed the following results: Total solids, 11.68?
per cent; fat, 3.1 per cent; solids not fat, 8.58 per cent; sediment,?
very large amount. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the?
information for the reason that a valuable constituent of the product,?
to wit, fat, had been wholly or in part abstracted.
On July 19, 1912, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere?
to the information and the court imposed a fine of $40.
