Consent decree of condemnation and forfeiture. Product released 
on Tbemd. (F. & D. No. 8226. I. S. Nos. 3398-m, 4302-m, 4303-m. S. No. 
B-839.).
On or about April 12, 1917, the United States attorney for the Eastern Dis- 
trict of Virginia, 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 90 boxes of macaroni, remaining unsold in the original unbroken 
packages at Norfolk, Va., alleging that the article had been shipped on or about 
March 29, 1917, by the Savarese Macaroni Co., Baltimore, Md., and transported 
from the State of Maryland into the State of Virginia, and charging misbrand- 
ing in violation of the Food and Drugs Act. The article was labeled, " Macaroni, 
Gragnano Style Savoy Brand Artificially Colored. Extra sublime 20 lbs. nett, 
Ditali, Rosamarino."
Misbranding of the article was alleged in the libel for the reason that it was 
labeled and branded so as to deceive and mislead the purchaser, and so as to 
purport [it] to be a foreign product, when, in truth and in fact, it was not.
On June 15, 1917, the said Savarese Macaroni Co., claimant, having admitted 
some of the allegations of the libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture 
was entered, and it was ordered by the court that the product should be released 
to said claimant upon the payment of the costs of the proceedings and the 
execution of a bond in the sum of $350, in conformity with section 10 of the 
act, conditioned in part that the product should be properly labeled.
