U. S. v. One Barrel Olive Oil.   Decree of condemnation toy consent.   Goods released on bond.
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF OLIVE OIL.
On January 15, 1913, the United States Attorney for the Eastern 
District of Pennsylvania, acting upon a report by the Secretary of 
Agriculture, filed in the District Court of the United States for said 
district a libel for the seizure and condemnation of one 54-gallon 
barrel of olive oil remaining unsold in the original unbroken package 
and in possession of A. Fuimara, Ninth and Fitzwater Streets, Phila- 
delphia, Pa., alleging that the product had been shipped in interstate 
commerce from the State of New York into the State of Pennsylvania, 
on or about November 29, 1912, and charging adulteration and mis- 
branding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product was 
labeled: "K. L.—Calamata—Olive Oil—Greece, N. Y."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that a certain substance, to wit, cottonseed oil, had been mixed and 
packed with it so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect its quality 
and strength; and further, in that a certain substance, to wit, cotton- 
seed oil, had been substituted wholly or in part for the product. 
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the product, labeled and 
branded as set forth above, purported to be olive oil, whereas, on the 
contrary thereof, it was not olive oil, but was a mixture of olive oil 
and cottonseed oil.
On March 3, 1913, P. Mustakis Co. (Inc.), New York, N. Y., the 
claimant shipper, having filed an answer admitting in part the aver- 
ments of the libel, but denying any intention to violate the laws of 
the United States, and having consented thereto, a judgment of con- 
demnation and forfeiture was entered and it was further ordered that 
the product should be released and delivered to said claimant upon 
payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of bond 
in the sum of $112, in conformity with section 10 of the Act.
B. T. GALLOWAY,
Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
