BTJBEAU  OP   CHEMISTRY.	
[Supplement 132,.
Act, as amended, from the State of Colorado into the State of Utah, of a?
quantity of egg noodles which were adulterated and misbranded.
Analysis of a sample of the article by the Bureau of Chemistry of this de??
partment showed that it contained little or no egg.
Adulteration of the article was alleged in the information for the reason,?
that a substance, to wit, an alimentary paste containing little or no egg, had.?
been substituted for egg noodles, which the article purported to be.
Misbranding was alleged for the reason that the boxes containing the article?
bore a statement, to wit, " Egg Noodles," regarding the said article and the?
ingredients contained therein, which was false and misleading in that the said?
statement represented to the purchaser thereof that the article was egg noodles,?
whereas, in fact and in truth, it was not egg noodles, but was a product con??
taining little or no egg. Misbranding was alleged for the further reason that?
the article was a-product composed practically wholly of an alimentary paste,,?
prepared in imitation of egg noodles, and was offered for sale under the dis??
tinctive name of another article, to wit, egg noodles. Misbranding was alleged?
for the further reason that the article was food in package form, and the?
quantity of the contents was not plainly and conspicuously marked on the?
outside of the package.
On July 5, 1921, the defendant entered a plea of guilty to the information,?
and the court imposed a fine of $5. and costs.,
C. W. PUGSLEY, Acting Secretary of Agriculture.
