7018. Adulteration   of   smoked   sansage.    U.   S.    *    *    *   v.   Harry   Gelfand
(Eagle Meat Marlcet).    Plea of nolo contendere.    Fine, $20.     (F. & D. 
No. 9311.    I. S. No. 3361-p.)
On November 27, 1918, the United States attorney for the District of Colum-
Court of the District aforesaid an information against Harry Gelfand, trading 
as Eagle Meat Market, Washington, D. C, alleging that said defendant did 
offer for sale and sell at the District aforesaid, in violation of the Food and 
Drugs Act, on February 14, 1918, a quantity of smoked sausage which was 
adulterated.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de- 
partment showed the following results:
Per cent.
Starch 
3. 5
Cereal 
5. 0
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason that 
a substance, to wit, a cereal product, had been mixed and packed therewith so 
as to lower and reduce and injuriously affect its quality and strength, and had 
been substituted in part for smoked sausage, which the article purported to be. 
On November 27, 1918, the defendant entered a plea of nolo contendere to 
the information, and the court imposed a fine of $20.
