3096.?Misbranding and alleged adulteration of sirup. U. S. v. 5 Barrels and 10 One-half Barrels of Sirup. Decree of condemnation by consent. Product released on bond. (F. & D. No. 5212. S. No. 1801.) On May 8, 1913, the United States attorney for the Eastern District of South? Carolina, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the District? Court of the United States for the said district a libel for the seizure and condemnation? of 5 barrels and 10 one-half barrels, each barrel containing 50 gallons or thereabouts,? and each one-half barrel containing about 28 gallons or thereabouts, of sirup, remaining? unsold in the original unbroken packages, and in possession of O'Donnell & Co. (Inc.),? Sumter S. C, alleging that the product had been shipped on February 27, 1913, by? the D. R. Wilder Manufacturing Co., Atlanta, Ga., and transported from the State? of Georgia into the State of South Carolina, and charging adulteration and misbrand?? ing in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The product was labeled: " Wilder's? Uniform Brand New Crop Syrup. The D. R. Wilder Mfg. Co., Atlanta, Ga." 306 BUREAU OF CHEMISTRY. [April, 1914. Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libel for the reason that the product? intending and pretending to be pure cane sirup had been mixed and packed with? commercial glucose so as to reduce, lower, and injuriously affect the quality and? strength of the said sirup; that is to say, the said product contained about 34 per cent? of such commercial glucose and only about 66 per cent of pure cane sirup, and such? commercial glucose had been substituted in part for pure cane sirup, which said? barrels and half-barrels intended and pretended to contain. Misbranding was alleged? for the reason that the product was branded and labeled under the distinctive name? of "New Crop Syrup," intending and pretending to show that the ingredients, or? substance, contained in each of said barrels and half barrels was new crop sirup,? whereas, in truth and in fact, it was not so, but was a mixture of cane sirup and com?? mercial glucose in proportion of 66 per cent of cane sirup and 34 per cent of commercial? glucose, and the said statement that said product was new crop sirup was false and? misleading. On May 21, 1913, the said D. R. Wilder Manufacturing Co., having filed the answer? to the facts pleaded in the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered,? the court finding the product misbranded but not adulterated with any poisonous or? deleterious substance. It was ordered by the court that the product should be deliv?? ered to said claimants upon payment of the costs of the proceedings and the execution? of bond in sum of $200 in conformity with section 10 of the act.
