[Supplement 161,
demnation of 217 cases of assorted jellies, remaining unsold in the original?
unbroken packages at Denver, Colo., consigned by the Sanitary Food Mfg. Co.,?
from Minnesota Transfer, Minn., alleging that the articles had been shipped?
on or about April 4, 1922, and transported from the State of Minnesota into?
the State of Colorado, and charging adulteration and misbranding in violation?
of the Food and Drugs Act. The articles were labeled in part: (Jars and?
cans) "Golden Moon * * * Apple-Raspberry" (or "Apple-Grape," "Ap??
ple-Strawberry," or "Apple-Currant,") "Jelly Apple Juice 28? Raspberry"?
(or "Grape," "Strawberry," or "Currant") "Juice 12? Sugar 60? Sanitary?
Food Mfg. Co. St. Paul, Minn."
Adulteration of the articles was alleged in the libel for the reason that?
products composed of pectin, sugar, and tartaric acid, containing little or no?
fruit juices, had been mixed and packed with and substituted wholly or in?
part for the respective articles. Adulteration of the apple-grape jeliy was?
alleged for the further reason that it was artificially colored in a manner?
whereby damage and inferiority were concealed.
Misbranding of the articles was alleged for the reason that the statements,?
"Apple-Raspberry," "Apple-Grape," "Apple-Strawberry," and "Apple-Currant,"?
appearing on the respective containers of the said jellies, were false and mis??
leading and deceived and misled the purchaser thereof. Misbranding was?
alleged for the further reason that the articles were imitations of and offered?
for sale under the distinctive names of other articles.
On June 15, 1923, the Sanitary Food Mfg. Co., St. Paul, Minn., having ap??
peared as claimant for the/property and having admitted tbe allegations of the?
libel, judgment of condemnation and forfeiture was entered, and it was ordered?
by the court that the products be released to the said claimant upon payment?
of the costs of the proceedings and the execution of a bond in the sum of?
$1,108.53, in conformity with section 10 of the act.
