U.  S. v.  One Barrel Vanilla Extract.   Decree  of  condemnation  by  default.
Product ordered destroyed.
ADULTERATION AND MISBRANDING OF VANILLA EXTRACT.
On January 8, 1913, the United States Attorney for the District 
of New Jersey, 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 barrel containing ap- 
proximately 27 gallons of so-called vanilla extract, remaining unsold 
in the original unbroken package at Union Hill, N. J., alleging that the 
product had been shipped on or about November 16, 1912, by David 
Lowenthal, New Rochelle, N. Y., and transported from the State of 
New York into the State of New Jersey, and charging adulteration 
and misbranding in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The 
product bore no label, but was invoiced as " One bbl. 27 gallon of 
Vanilla."
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason 
that it consisted wholly or in part of an imitation extract of vanilla 
which had been colored in a manner to conceal its inferiority and 
which said imitation extract of vanilla had been substituted "wholly 
or in part for extract of vanilla. Adulteration was alleged for the 
further reason that the product had mixed with it a substance, to 
wit
,
imitation extract of vanilla, so as to reduce or lower and injuri- 
ously affect its quality and strength, and for the further reason that 
the imitation extract of vanilla was substituted wholly or in part for 
vanilla extract. Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the 
product was an imitation of extract of vanilla and was sold for ex- 
tract of vanilla.
On March 4, 1913, no claimant having appeared for the property, 
judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered and it was 
ordered by the court that the product should be destroyed by the 
United States marshal.
